This is a sad day indeed for all expatriate Aussies in the US. Even though I only eat it about once a year. I was raised on the stuff and will now head down to the International Market to buy any last jars before they rip it off the shelves :Oh crap

My housepainter is an Aussie and LOVES the stuff. He said it's something you're just born eating but it's rarely an aquired taste unless you start when you're very young ;)

Damn - I was just going to get a Vegemite Sandwich - SOL - I guess.

I love Vegemite, it's best on toast! and you only need a small amount, even my cat loves eating Vegemite!! she goes crazy over it!

Vegemite smells exactly like catfish bait and kind of tastes like a thick funky roast beef cream. I kinda like it though.

Looks like Vegemite isn't banned!

US denies Vegemite ban
From correspondents in Los Angeles

Article from: AAP

AUSTRALIANS travelling to the US can breathe easy. So can the 100,000 or so Australian expatriates living in America.

The US government today 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 at the weekend 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".

To eradicate any grey areas or potential regulation breaches, Mr Herndon said, Kraft could petition the FDA, something other food manufacturers have done.

While many Aussies living in the US rely on visiting Australian relatives and friends to bring them a jar or two of Vegemite from Australia, the product is available in some US supermarkets.

The price slapped on Vegemite, however, is tough to swallow.

A tiny, four ounce jar of Vegemite sells for around $US4.80 ($6.33) in US supermarkets.
