Seems that there is too much folate in Vegemite so the feds banned it's
import.  What is next!  Not the sacred Tim Tam's!

what about marmite - isn't it very similar?

I read this on somethingawful yesterday.
I've always wanted to try Vegemite, so I bought some from an ebay seller in
AU. We'll see if the feds snag it at the border LOL.

well this is terrible news....

if you do get it, make sure you only use the merest spread, preferably on
hot buttered toast.  Do not slather on like jam !

let us know how you go

yeah, except it turns out that it's not true. while it is
against FDA rules to import items with added folate, there is
no crack-down on Vegemite. there is no "ban".
if you bring it in for personal use, that's fine. it *may* be
harder to get it from an importer (so i may not be able to
find it at my supermarket anymore)... but if that turns out to
be true, it'll be the fault of whomever started the rumour &
called the feds attention to Vegemite in the first place :p
