US BANS VEGEMITE! US customs question Aussie over Vegemite smuggling
24 October 2006 An Australian's accent was suspicious enough for US customs officials to question him about smuggling contraband. But, rather than drugs or guns, the officers were looking for the much-loved Australasian spread Vegemite, the Geelong Advertiser reported. "We thought they were joking but it was real," Australian Daniel Fogarty told the newspaper. The incident happened on the Canada/US border. "We went down to Montana and were crossing the border, they searched everybody's car as they do and after they searched asked if we were carrying any Vegemite." On this occasion, neither Mr Fogarty nor his partner, Sarah Egan, were carrying the banned substance. "We were completely shocked. Normally Sarah wouldn't travel far without Vegemite but for some reason we didn't have it." The vitamin-packed yeasty condiment was outlawed because it contains added folate. US laws state the B-group vitamin, which is used by the body to make new cells, can only be added to bread and cereals.

I like it, but prefer Promite.
I like Marmite and Bovril spread on toast too.
Bovril as a drink is also great for colds. | |
