Five typical American products that are banned in other countries
Some foods used by Americans every day may contain substances potentially harmful to health. And although they are allowed in the US, in many countries there is a ban on their use and sale.
Edition USA Today collected a list of such products.
1. Artificial food colors
They are contained in semi-finished pasta with cheese, cereal, candy and baking. Scientists associate the use of artificial dyes with an increased risk of brain cancer, as well as the development of hyperactivity in children.
