its because it contains additional vits and minerals that the danish have strict rules about.

Personally I'm in the LOVE IT camp

I'm not a great fan of Marmite.......I prefer Vegemite, it doesn't have the bitter after taste that Marmite has.
I used to get one of our Consultants(an Aussie) to bring me a jar when he went home for visits.......happily, now you can buy Vegemite over here.

I like the stuff, also a spoonful in gravy adds a little extra or added to roasties in the oven.

A Donkey tip for Marmite munchers.

I was stuck behind a whole TANKER of the stuff today, All I could think about was how many slices of toast that lot would cover

Claims that British savoury spread Marmite was banned in Denmark yesterday have turned out to be false, according to the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries (DMFAF).

Several media publications reported on Tuesday that the yeast extract had been banned from the country because it is a fortified food with added vitamins and minerals.

However, Danish authorities have dismissed these claims.

you can go to Denmark knowing you wont starve now entwisi

The only down side for the Danes is they will have to find something else to smear on their bodies, during, er well bedroom games, raspberry jam maybe

i think the last time it made the papers it was during the mad cows disease fiasco where the papers made out that if you ate it you were as good as dead

Turns out it was never granted a license in the first place so still can't be legally sold there!

All teh more for me then

I've not seen it in the German shops, but I know I can get it over the border in Holland so usually do.
