    In Canada:

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...ans-sale-of-Irn-Bru-Marmite-and-Ovaltine.html

    Plus Irn Bru, Ovaltine, Lucozade, Penguin Bars and Bovril.

    Here in the UK it's only illegal to mix Marmite with Lucozade and use it as an anti-aphid spray.

      The Canadian Government cites an additive in one of those products as being a contributor to hyperactivity.
      Haaa, this is from a nation whose national breakfast is a dozen pancakes drizzled with a gallon of maple syrup and bacon rashers on the side.

            Quite right Scrungee, the government seems to have gone "loco". :)

              I saw this on the news last night, and I have never ever seen the stuff here, in any of the stores that I go into.

              Sounds like its more of a specialty store item.....never seen it.

              Although I just read that some Walmart's carry it, and I do have to go there today, so I'm going to look for it here.,

              Surely this new ruling will only create a marmite mafia that will enrich themselves through the illegal marmite trade.

              If his business does fail, perhaps the enraged ex-pats not being able to get their favourite products will organize a street protest.

                It is a special store item Penny, sold in British food stores there. I don't think this will bother my daughter either. :)

                  Hey, I know that gateway

                  camp badger.png

                  It did amuse me when I read of "Mr. Badger" the shopkeeper.
