17 Foods You Never Knew Were Banned in America

Fugu fish

Fugu, or Japanese blowfish, is a deadly delicacy, for real. That’s because its internal organs contain a toxin called tetrodotoxin, which is hundreds of times more poisonous than cyanide. Even the smallest error in preparing it, can send the person eating it to the hospital, or worse…Heaven.

Its consumption is not allowed in the United States unless the fugu fish comes from certified processors in Japan. If you’re curious as to what this fish tastes like, you can find it on some of the most expensive Japanese menus in the United States.
