US bans Vegemite

THE United States has slapped a ban on Vegemite, outraging Australian
expatriates there.
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate,
which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.
Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently
and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for
breakfast.
Former Geelong man Daniel Fogarty, who now lives in Calgary, Canada, said
he was stunned when searched while crossing the US border recently.
"The border guard asked us if we were carrying any Vegemite," Mr Fogarty
said.
"I was flabbergasted." Paul Watkins, who owns a store called About
Australia in San Antonio, Texas, said he had been forced to stop
importing Vegemite six months ago.
"We have completely stopped bringing it in," he said.
"(US authorities) have made a stance and there is nothing that can be
done about it."

THE United States has slapped a ban on Vegemite, outraging Australian
expatriates there.
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate,
which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.

From: http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/folate.asp
"Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food.
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate that is found in supplements
and added to fortified foods [1].
Folate gets its name from the Latin word "folium" for leaf. A key
observation of researcher Lucy Wills nearly 70 years ago led to the
identification of folate as the nutrient needed to prevent the anemia
of pregnancy. Dr. Wills demonstrated that the anemia could be corrected
by a yeast extract. Folate was identified as the corrective substance
in yeast extract in the late 1930s, and was extracted from spinach
leaves in 1941.
Folate helps produce and maintain new cells [2]. This is especially
important during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as
infancy and pregnancy. Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA, the
building blocks of cells. It also helps prevent changes to DNA that may
lead to cancer [3]. Both adults and children need folate to make normal
red blood cells and prevent anemia [4]. Folate is also essential for
the metabolism of homocysteine, and helps maintain normal levels of
this amino acid."
Well, *that* explains it. Folic acid might be good for you. We can't
have that in Ammurican food..

'Bizarre'? Not really. It has to do with being the world's premiere
protectionist state. A state can either respect free markets and the
significance of trade -- or it can just talk vacuously and dishonestly about
them. The USA does the latter.

I'm just sighing over the fact that with all the *serious* problems in
this country, the gov't decides to declare war...on Vegemite. I guess

US bans Vegemite

Kelvin Healey

October 22, 2006 12:00am
Article from: The Sunday Mail (Qld)

THE United States has slapped a ban on Vegemite, outraging Australian
expatriates there.
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate,
which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.


From: http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/folate.asp

"Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food.
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate that is found in supplements
and added to fortified foods [1].

Folate gets its name from the Latin word "folium" for leaf. A key
observation of researcher Lucy Wills nearly 70 years ago led to the
identification of folate as the nutrient needed to prevent the anemia
of pregnancy. Dr. Wills demonstrated that the anemia could be corrected
by a yeast extract. Folate was identified as the corrective substance
in yeast extract in the late 1930s, and was extracted from spinach
leaves in 1941.

Folate helps produce and maintain new cells [2]. This is especially
important during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as
infancy and pregnancy. Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA, the
building blocks of cells. It also helps prevent changes to DNA that may
lead to cancer [3]. Both adults and children need folate to make normal
red blood cells and prevent anemia [4]. Folate is also essential for
the metabolism of homocysteine, and helps maintain normal levels of
this amino acid."

Well, *that* explains it. Folic acid might be good for you. We can't
have that in Ammurican food..

US bans Vegemite

Kelvin Healey

October 22, 2006 12:00am
Article from: The Sunday Mail (Qld)

THE United States has slapped a ban on Vegemite, outraging Australian
expatriates there.
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate,
which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.

Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently
and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for
breakfast.

Former Geelong man Daniel Fogarty, who now lives in Calgary, Canada, said
he was stunned when searched while crossing the US border recently.

"The border guard asked us if we were carrying any Vegemite," Mr Fogarty
said.

"I was flabbergasted." Paul Watkins, who owns a store called About
Australia in San Antonio, Texas, said he had been forced to stop
importing Vegemite six months ago.

"We have completely stopped bringing it in," he said.

"(US authorities) have made a stance and there is nothing that can be
done about it."

http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/vegemite.asp
Vegemite Ban
Claim: The U.S. has banned all imports of Vegemite due to the presence
of folate.
Status: False.
Example: [Associated Press, 2006]
Origins: News in late October 2006 that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) had ordered customs officials to crack down on the
importation of Vegemite into the U.S. caused great consternation among
American expatriates from Australia and New Zealand and others who enjoy
the Kraft-manufactured "savoury spread" made from yeast products.
The ban was supposedly being enforced due to the presence of folate, an
FDA-regulated food additive, in the product. Later reports, however,
indicated the original news overstated the case:
The US government has dismissed media reports it had banned Vegemite.
"There is no ban on Vegemite," US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
spokesman Mike Herndon said.
Media reports claimed American border officials were confiscating
Vegemite from Australians as they entered the US.
The FDA, charged with policing America's food supply, has not issued an
"import alert" to border officials to halt the import of Vegemite.
Mr Herndon said the FDA was surprised by the media reports.
The controversy centres on folate, an ingredient in Vegemite.
Under US regulations, folate can be added only to breads and cereals.
"One of the Vitamin B components (in Vegemite) is folate," Mr. Herndon
said.
"In and of itself, it's not a violation. If they're adding folate to it,
boosting it up, technically it would be a violation.
"But the FDA has not targeted it and I don't think we intend to target
Vegemite simply because of that."
Joanna Scott, spokesperson for Vegemite's maker, Kraft, reportedly has
said, "The Food and Drug Administration doesn't allow the import of
Vegemite simply because the recipe does have the addition of folic
acid".
But Mr. Herndon said, "Nobody at the FDA has told them (Kraft) there is
a ban".
/end
What's the difference between a 'ban' and 'not allowing the import of?'

US bans Vegemite

Kelvin Healey

October 22, 2006 12:00am
Article from: The Sunday Mail (Qld)

THE United States has slapped a ban on Vegemite, outraging Australian
expatriates there.
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate,
which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.

Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently
and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for
breakfast.

Former Geelong man Daniel Fogarty, who now lives in Calgary, Canada, said
he was stunned when searched while crossing the US border recently.

"The border guard asked us if we were carrying any Vegemite," Mr Fogarty
said.

"I was flabbergasted." Paul Watkins, who owns a store called About
Australia in San Antonio, Texas, said he had been forced to stop
importing Vegemite six months ago.

"We have completely stopped bringing it in," he said.

"(US authorities) have made a stance and there is nothing that can be
done about it."


That's it.
The US is officialy FUCKED IN THE HEAD!

You can bring in guns and knives, but not Vegemite???


Does this mean war? Are you going to 'liberate' us?

Please! :-)

I can't until our Johnny Howard and my ex-neighbour Alex Downer cease
their homoerotic love affair with Big Dubya.

It's very similar to British "Marmite", which I have seen in US stores,
however, I much prefer Promite, which has a sweeter taste (yes, a savoury
spread that is sweeter, you have to taste test to compare...)
Although they're unable to supply Vegemite or Promite at the moment, this
is a US website that does online ordering
