Marmite made illegal in Denmark « Posted: 24 May 2011 at 10:38 PM »
According to the marketing slogan it is a taste that you either love or hate. But Danes will no longer get the chance to make up their own minds on Marmite after the British delicacy was banned under food safety laws.
The strongly flavoured dark brown spread made from brewer's yeast has joined Rice Crispies, Shreddies, Horlicks and Ovaltine prohibited in Denmark under legislation forbidding the sale of food products with added vitamins as threat to public health. Link

Let’s hope they make it illegal here too! (Runs and hides behind settee!)

Judging by the very last sentence of the report it looks like it's all down to the say-so of one person, quote:

'A spokesman for the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said: "I cannot comment on the Marmite case because our expert is away until Thursday." '

That product is on my list of “Vile” edibles - i.e “Avoid at all costs”!

I can see a business opportunity here. Smuggling Marmite to Denmark.

Marmite Mmmmmm

I remember when I was young, my mother used to buy Marmite in large size catering tins and us kids used to love Marmite lollies. (stick a spoon in the tin and lick the Marmite).

Last year, they produced a Special Edition - Champagne and Marmite! How ridiculous is that?  Could anyone taste Champagne in that over-powering brown sludge - which raises the question - "Why would they want to?"  Wink
