Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.Does anybody know where i can find a list of banned drinks and foods in the USA?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Does anybody know where i can find a list of banned drinks and foods in the USA?),it will help you,my kids.
I'm rather curious about finding out what consumable items are on the banned list.
i dont know if this went in the right category.
Answer:
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) are responsible for ensuring that all foods,
including imports, comply with our food safety laws. The FDA and USDA
monitor fruit, grain, meat, and dairy products for contaminants,
including pesticide residues. Under U.S. food safety laws, foods
found to contain residues of a pesticide for which no allowable
pesticide limit (tolerance) exists, or that exceed an allowable
tolerance, are considered to be adulterated. Such foods are
prohibited from sale in the United States."
Also, fromage de savoie is apparently only purchasable in the US if it is aged 65 days or more.
Another item banned is "Starlink" a type of GM corn (Genetically Modified).
You can also check out link 4 below, for the FDA information on food and drinks.
Unfortunately, I generally found a lot more about countries banning foods sent from the US than the other way around, so this was a hard one to research! You might also want to look on the USDA website.
in the garbage dump
I would think that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and / or World Health Organization (WHO).
I think it just used to be the FDA, but this WHO organization seems to pop into a lot of issues, so I'm not positive. I think FDA is below the WHO in "rank." I probably confused you more though, lol. Sorry, I tried. Just stick the the FDA.
hmmmmm

The measures are an attempt to promote healthier eating habits amongst children to prevent the affects of poor diet which – behind alcohol and tobacco consumption – are estimated to be the most prominent cause of disease burden in the federation.
In a report for the World Health Organisation (WHO) focusing on Russian health; factors including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and low fruit and vegetable intake, were estimated to contribute for around 40 per cent of disease in the country.
Dr Timothy Armstrong of the WHO stated that the ban was certainly “a start” in combating poor diet, particularly in institutions like schools.
“As children are effectively captive in the school environments for several hours a day, it is a perfect opportunity to promote good eating habits, and for some children it may be the only place they can do this.”
In announcing the ban, Dr Onischenko announced that milk shakes and other milk products would replace popular snacks in order to promote healthier eating amongst pupils. However there is wider concern that instead of focusing solely on food in school canteens, a multi-faceted solution to promoting a balanced diet is needed throughout Russian society as a whole.
“Outside of the school environment we need further measures for healthy eating to come into play, particularly in emerging markets,” adds Dr Armstrong.
In a report published by CVC consulting last year, it was estimated that the current boom in the Russian snack market, particularly with products like potato chips which are relatively new to the country, has seen them become a regular part of many children's diets.
In response to the report Julia Bychenko, project leader at market research company Komkon, said that Russian children were taking to ‘junk' food at an increasingly young age.
She said“At the age of 4-6, Russian children are already major consumers of potato chips (81 per cent), chocolate (78 per cent), crackers (71 per cent), chewing gum (70 per cent) and carbonated beverages (66 per cent).”
While it seems weaning children entirely away from snacks, sweets and soft drinks may be a near impossible task, Dr Armstrong believes we are seeing greater calls for the need for balanced diets.
“As emerging markets in Africa, eastern Europe and the middle east, show a desire to engage with Western products, Governments and NGO's are pressing companies more than ever to balance their own profits, with the needs of their consumers for healthier diets,” He said.

09/05/2006 - The makers of the Red Bull energy drink will continue lobbying the Turkish government, after being forced to reformulate to meet the country’s ban on high caffeine energy drinks.
A spokesperson for Red Bull said the firm was disappointed that Turkey had not followed the European Union's example of merely requiring drinks, except tea and coffee, containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre to state ‘high caffeine content' on the label.
Turkey, instead, last week banned the sale of energy drinks containing caffeine above this level, adding a further twist to the debate on regulations regarding such drinks.
Red Bull was forced to reformulate to stay in Turkey. “At the request of the Turkish authorities, Red Bull on sale in Turkey has the caffeine level reduced to just under half of the amount that is accepted in more than 130 countries around the world,” a group spokesperson told BeverageDaily.com.
She said the company hoped Turkey would “soon adapt its legislation” to allow Red Bull to again increase caffeine levels. One can of Red Bull normally contains around 80mg of caffeine.
Red Bull, one of Europe's most popular energy drinks, is already banned in France because health experts there said they were concerned about its high caffeine content, and that more studies were needed on two ingredients - taurine and glucuronolactone.- used in the drink.
The company has repeatedly assured consumers that its drink was safe.
The debate over energy drinks' caffeine content has been floating around the sector for a few years.
Dr Bruce Goldberger, a US-based researcher, argued in a recent study that all drinks containing caffeine should display the caffeine content on their labels, to prevent those at risk from consuming too much caffeine.
“In certain people, consumption of caffeine causes serious health effects, such as anxiety, palpitations, irritability, difficulty sleeping and stomach complaints,” he said.
Both the American Dietetic Association and the UK Food Standards Agency advise people not consumer more than 300mg of caffeine per day. Their advice is particularly aimed at pregnant women, who studies indicate have greater risk of miscarriage or babies with low birth weight if they exceed the 300mg barrier
Following shocking revelations over the quality of food served in schools throughout England along with the growing ill health of the younger generation, junk food will be banned and new stringent nutritional standards will come into force by autumn 2006.
This could have a significant impact on the snack food market, which relies heavily on the younger market.
The new measures follow the publication of the “Turning the Tables: Transforming School Food” report by the independent school meals review panel, which urged the government to ban all low quality foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar.
It also recommended that reformed or reconstituted foods made from ‘meat slurry' in schools should be outlawed.
“All school food should be good. School meals should be an important source of nutrition for children,” said Chair of the Schools Meal Review Panel, Suzi Leather.
“By redressing the current imbalance in children's diets, schools can contribute towards a reduction in childhood obesity and tooth decay and, in the longer term, reduce the likelihood of our children suffering from chronic disease later in life.”
Certainly, something has to be done about the UK's burgeoning obesity crisis. The Caroline Walker Trust, which advises the UK government on school meal standards, says the number of obese school-age children has doubled since 1992.
And figures from the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) show the number of overweight children in Europe is rising by 400,000 a year.
Other measures include the banning of chocolate, crisps and fizzy drinks from vending machines in schools, a measure that has been partially implemented in the US and fully implemented in France. The only drinks available will be water, milk, pure fruit juices, yogurt and milk drinks with less than 10 per cent added sugar.
The report also outlines several proposed measures to combat the consumption of unhealthy food in schools, one of which is to control all food consumed in school. This could involve a total ban on pupils leaving school at lunch times along with advising parents what to put in their child's packed lunch.
Similar steps have been taken in the US to try and control the consumption of unhealthy food in schools. In certain states parents have been banned from sending snacks in for their child's classmates, while they are still allowed to provide them for their own child.
However, treats haven not been completely banned as the new regulation allows the school itself to provide such snacks at up to nine school events each year
The School Food Trust has drawn up draft standards to prevent childhood obesity spiraling out of control and to improve children's health.
The consultation will seek the opinion of head teacher and school workforce associations, dieticians, health charities and food and drink organisations on the proposed ban for confectionery and fizzy drinks being sold in schools.
“The independent School Food Trust has proposed a robust standard for food which can be sold in schools through vending machines, tuck shops and at break times,” said Schools Minister Jacqui Smith.
“It is important that we now seek the views of a wide range of stakeholders on these to ensure that such standards are effective, practical, and in the best interests of children's health.”
The proposed standards have been met with mixed reaction.
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) in the UK, which has welcomed better school meal provisions doesn't believe the recommend standards will help solve the obesity problem.
“Banning foods is neither an effective or practical solution to tackling obesity. Balance is the key and bans will not help teach children how to build a balanced diet,” said Martin Paterson, Deputy Director General of the FDF.
However the Trust says healthier alternatives are available to replace energy dense foods and drinks that have no nutritional benefits.
Suzi Leather, chair of the School Food Trust, also said that obesity targets “cannot succeed if pupils are surrounded with chocolate, crisps and drinks that fill them up with sugar and fat during the school day.”
The School Food Trust states that one in eight children in the UK are now obese and that one in four of the generation now entering school will be obese by 2020 unless preventative action is taken.
After the consultation the government will publish the final version of the non-lunch standards alongside the agreed standards for school lunches in May.
The government previously set standards for school lunches, which will be introduced from September, with funding of ￡220m.
The Trust's advice is that new standards should be consistently applied to every other food outlet in schools including breakfast, after school meals, mid-morning breaks, vending machines and tuck shops.
It recommends the following standards:
No confectionery should be sold in schools.
No bagged savoury snacks other than nuts and seeds (without added salt or sugar) should be sold in schools.
A variety of fruit and vegetables should be available in all school food outlets, which could include fresh, dried, frozen, canned and juiced varieties.
Children and young people must have easy access at all times to free, fresh, preferably chilled, water in schools so that children do not have to visit the toilet block to get water.
The only other drinks available should be bottled water (still or sparkling), skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, pure fruit juices, yoghurt and milk drinks (with less than 5% added sugar) or drinks made from a combination of these such as smoothies, tea or coffee.
Every school should have an integrated whole school food and nutrition policy, preferably reflected in its single School Plan.
The standards apply only to food provided in schools on a regular basis and do no extend to voluntary activities such as fundraising events.
The Trust intends to give guidance on lunchboxes later in the year.
