It's the same thing with mirabelle plums from france. Or similar to Norway, Sweden, and Finland not importing or having m&m's until recently.

[@davenwin1973]

Cadbury candy bars made outside of the US are banned, because Hershey bought the US rights to the brand on 1988, because Cadbury couldn't compete with Mars, Hershey, and Nestlé, though Nestlé sold their US candy business to Ferrero. Anyway because Hershey owns Cadbury in the US, they got the government to ban most Cadbury candy from outside the US for competition reasons. When you have Cadbury candy in the US, you're essentially eating Hershey candy disguised as Cadbury. I'm not sure if the same thing is done with Kit Kat, as Hershey owns the US rights to the brand, while Nestlé makes it in Europe and Asia. I've always wondered how much of a different there is between a Nestlé Kit Kat, and a Hershey's Kit Kat.

Black currant juice is better than orange, cause it has more vit. C Oh, so that's why it's banned - the threat to wood bussiness and orange orchards!

[@davenwin1973]

Hershey owns Ed US rights to the brand, and they had the government ban most Cadbury products from Europe, for competitive reasons. Hershey doesn't want the real Cadbury products here. So products that overlap, or are similar to what's available here, the European version is banned. So there's limited UK Cadbury products in the US, but what is available, I can taste the difference in chocolate. The UK chocolate is much better. The US Cadbury products are made with Hershey chocolate, and inferior. After tasting European chocolate, I prefer it over American chocolate (at least from the corporate chocolate companies, but some smaller chocolate makers do make good chocolate here). For now, the only chocolate I can afford that comes from Europe is the type I find at Aldi USA (owned by Aldi Süd, while Poland has Aldi Nord). I don't know who makes it, but it's imported to the US from Germany. I'll have to make a trip to a grocery store in the Chicago area, near Polish neighborhoods, so I can look for Polish candy, and give it a try.

[@ann_corePL]

As for milk it's probably due to lower costs, bc as you mentioned it's fresh, thus short expiration date, requires special transport, temperature control all the time, and refrigerators in shops = much ado and $$. It's easier to just ban fresh milk and decide for customers, especially if they don't care much. I know that American cook less, you have mix even for pancakes and stuff, while in Poland most people would just do basic things from a scratch. And fresh milk sometimes can't be replaced or simply works better, for example you need it for homemade yogurt (with bacteria at work). Besides, even sour milk has its uses (it 'grows' better, as in fluffy pankaces). Some people prefer fresh milk or for example fresh yeast, and the attachment is pretty strong. And hey, where there is a demand there is a supply. Poles in general are pretty crazy about diary product and its range is spectacular, I often miss some products while abroad (perhaps we just have cows-oriented farming, which makes sense since the country is rather flat, with not many forrests). Besides, I think that some of those decisions in US are influenced by industry/politics (like corn is somehow subsidized in US for no good reason and you can find it everywhere; cows are being fed cheap corn, even tho cows are not naturally inclined to digest it in such a proportion, kinda shocking - cows with holes; I remeber seeing it in a film "Cow Inc."). I'm not a drinker but I've seen a combo of black current juice and vodka sold together pretty often (taped together on a shelf, might be a Polish thing to mix it like that...). Black current is underestimated even in Poland, don't know why, you mostly find it in a jam (jelly). Somehow oversized American blueberry is more hyped. You might want to check 'agrest' too (looks like hairy grapes), this one is even more rare and not industralized.

How on earth Kinder Surprise could be a choking hazard? The chocolate egg opens up and you eat each half separately, it's even shown in commercials. Even if somebody tried to put it whole in their mouth it's way too big, especially for a child and it's very thin and delicate, so the chocolate would crumble anyway. The plastic "egg" with a toy is too big to be swallowed. Besides, people who have very little children usually supervise their eating, you don't just open the cupboard and let them have a go. Now the toy itself, once out of the egg, could be some hazard, but it says on the label that it's for children above 3 yo, and again, you should watch what your child is doing, not put the blame on the companies...

[@davenwin1973]

In the US, it has to do with the Cosmetics act of 1938, which prohibits a food product from having a non food item in the middle of the food. Even though it has a special coating to make the chocolate safe to eat, the shell is not safe in the eyes of the government and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). That's the excuse it's not available here. We get the inferior Kinder Joy, which looks similar to Kinder Surprise, but it's 2 separate shells, one side with a creamy chocolate and 2 small wafer balls, and the other side containing the toy. The chocolate doesn't come in contact with the toy, or the other half of the 2 shells.

[@Aerinn21]

@@davenwin1973 We have Kinder Joy too. But Kinder Surprise doesn't have "a special coating", it's normal milk chocolate and I still don't see the problem. I know of the act you mentioned and I see its merit, you can sue companies if a non edible piece of something ends up in your food. But Kinder Surprise it's a totally different thing and should be exempted from this rigid rule. The chocolate also doesn't come in contact with a toy because it's inside a small roundish plastic container, like I said, virtually impossible to swallow or choke on it and I've never heard about such thing happening in Poland.

Unsterilised milk is allowed in EU, unpasteurized is not!!! Those are similar, yet not the same processes. Selling unpasteurized milk is illegal, but you know... you are able to buy illicit substances... I don't think it's a thing when it comes to milk in Poland though, I believe you're just confusing sterilization with pasteurization. Cheese is a different case. Maturing cheese has to be made from raw milk AND it's not dangerous as the process does the same as pasteurization: it kills all the microbes. That can also be done by smoking cheese: yes, the ingredient (milk) was raw, all the germs were killed later on in the process though. When it comes to Kinder Surprise... it's a bit like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKTWipiwe9ySh9U Absinthe is legal in EU only when it contains certain amount of thujone (the hallucinogenic drug). And I actually did the calculations once: you would have to drink around 1,8 liters of the absinthe you can legally buy to feel the effect. That would be at least 900 milliliters of pure ethanol, meaning you'd die before you'd get high;) Yes, you are able to buy the one that has much more of "the good stuff" than the legal one in the same way you can buy other illegal drugs. Never heard of it being available in Poland though, but in Czechia... yeah, I did buy the real s**t there. No, not in liquor store...

[@CieplinskiPawel]

P.S. Ow, sorry, 1.8 liters is almost 61 ounces. It is almost 4 bottles, so if you are able to drink 4 bottles of 40% vol vodka (80 proof), you may be able to drink 4 bottles of at least 50% vol (100 proof) absinthe. Then you will start experiencing hallucinations from the drug in it...

For you or I... ehm... it will go through you faster than Robert Kubica during his prime years in F1. Sorry to be graphic, but we're talking here literally s**tting liquid! Totally worth it if you ask me, but suit yourself;) DO NOT TRY IF LACTOSE INTOLERANT! Then it actually may do you harm!

definitely USA is going down. The quality of Polish food is 1000 % better than American and produced in higher standard so that ban must be jock. I understand if American food will be ban in Poland because of too hight level of clorox or other chemicals.

Most US food is already banned in the European Union. Our eggs can not be sold outside of the US and Canada, due to the fact that our eggs are washed to the point, that the eggs lose the protective coating that others allows eggs to be stored at room temperature. So our eggs (unless you go to a small farmer that doesn't wash their eggs) must be refrigerated, or they go bad.

[@canavero4288]

you don't eat the kinder eggs to get to the toy. the egg has a seam, so you break it in half.

[@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV]

Well most of my family say that not pasterized milks tastes better(and are rathere repelled by idea of UHT milk, as it being "worse type"). I don't have such point of view, but I actually don't like milk. I mean as "standalone" drink. I like add it to my coffee or drink cacao, but just drinking milk... nah I don't like it. Anyway It never seem to do us any harm, so this treat not seem so real for me. And it's hard to consider Kinder Surprise eggs a threat of choking, because this toy is inside a container which is to big for child to try to swallow them.

Moving from Poland to the united states was difficult. The United States was not what I expected for a first world country. Ever time i come back from Poland i notice how bad food in the USA tastes. Everything in Europe tastes better.

Kinder is not from Germany. That's a Italian brand, it has only german name becouse it was made first for German market by Italian company Ferrero.

[@Towik]

I don't think I ever have heard that "niespodzianka" was the cause of a child choking or dying... it's just chocolate casing that can be split into two and the toy or whatever they decided to shove inside the yellow plastic "casing" that is inside the chocolate (...) I doubt that anyone can choke on that, the toy cannot be taken out of the yellow plastic egg (let's call it an egg...) at least a person with a healthy 11+ grip kid needs to open it. It's not that easy. Still personally i don't think I like it, I only sometimes eat it or more like i take it away (I'm evil...) if there is one laying around and one of the nieces is not coming in like 3 or so weeks.

[@lynne1312]

Fresh Sassafras and kinder eggs with toy and Cadbury chocolate are here in Indiana and Chicago Land.

[@davenwin1973]

US Cadbury chocolate is essentially Hershey chocolate in disguise, as Hershey owns the US rights to the brand. For Kinder, we have Kinder Joy, which is totally different from Kinder Surprise, which is banned in the US. Kinder Joy is made with 2 different shells, one side has the chocolate, while the other side has the toy, and both half shells are sealed, and keeps both totally separate. Kinder Surprise has chocolate coating the shell that the toy is in, and the Cosmetics Act of 1938 prevents and food product from covering a non food item. The shell and toy inside doesn't meet those standards, and that's why we can't have that product.

[@RollEmAll]

OK, but when you buy Happy Meal at McDonald's in the USA is there a toy included?

[@davenwin1973]

Yes, but the toy is not in any way inside the food. That's the problem the US government has with Kinder Surprise. The chocolate coats the shell of a non food item, and despite it having a special coating to make the chocolate safe to eat, it's not allowed, based on the 1938 Cosmetics Act. So until a part of that act is repealed, this product doesn't meet US standards. I've always wanted to try this myself as an American.
