Canada has banned a string of iconic British foods including Marmite, Ovaltine, Bovril, Lucozade and Penguin bars, it has been claimed.
Government inspectors reportedly swept products off the shelves of a specialist food shop after telling its owner they contained unapproved ingredients.
The ban came to light after Tony Badger, who owns three expat shops including Brit Foods in Saskatoon, central Canada, had his Christmas shipment impounded by customs officers.
He then received a letter from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) saying the products contained unapproved ingredients - before officials removed them completely last week.
Mr Badger said he had been selling several of the products since he opened his first shop in 1997 with no complaints.
