A range of British foods including Marmite, Irn Bru and Ovaltine have been banned from being sold in Canada.

How do you think Britain should retaliate...ban Maple Syrup?...laugh

Canada has banned the sale of a string of iconic British foods such as Marmite, Ovaltine and Irn-Bru because they contain illegal additives, it was claimed.

Tony Badger, who runs a British specialty food store, was ordered to stop selling several popular UK exports which had ingredients that did not appear on the Canadian ‘approved food list’.

Government inspectors visited Brit Foods in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, last week and removed all the offending items, which also included Lucozade, Penguin Bars and Bovril.

A Christmas shipment of goods destined for Brit Stores which had been imported via Montreal was impounded by customs officials late last year.

Mr Badger, who is worried his business may now collapse, claimed he had been stocking the range of British products without complaint since 1997.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched a drive to crack down on the sale of unapproved goods and increasing its inspections of suppliers.

The other British products are banned because they are "enriched with vitamins and mineral" while some canned foods and soup contained too much animal product.

One customer, Briton Nigel Westwick, told the Star Phoenix newspaper that he "couldn't understand the insanity" of preventing Irn-Bru from entering Canada.

He said: "For a country that allows one to buy firearms, guns, bullets, stopping a soft drink suitable for all ages seems a little ludicrous."

I love marmite but it costs 8Euros a jar in Finland. I don't see what's wrong with it, must be the animal additives.
