hummmmm, sounds like a technicality to me

Kraft spokeswoman Joanna Scott said: "The (US) Food and Drug Administration doesn't allow the import of Vegemite simply because the recipe does have the addition of folic acid.''

That is SOOO lame US. Get your shit together, Vegimite is not a terrorist....although they do share a striking resemblance to one another.

Marmite is shit.
Vegemite will make you taller,faster, better, stronger and tastes really fricken good.

And apparently folic acid is the devil and should only be in bread according to the FDA, and thats why its been banned.

It's the other way round, and you know it.

Down under we thrive off folic acid, it keeps us regular. America doesn't know what it's missing out on, you can never have too much folic acid, it's just that good. Better than sex.

Anything's possible in the land of the free, including banning Vegemite coz it's too good for you.

if yeast leaves a bad taste in your mouth then you wont like vegemite. some people find it gross and really taste the yeast, others dont. I love it.
