Ian points out an article on News.com.au that The US FDA have made Vegemite Illegal.

Apparently it’s because of Folic Acid, and border inspection guards are even searching people (presumably Australians) at entry for Vegemite.

Australian expatriates in the US said enforcement of the ban had been gradually stepped up and was now ruining lifelong traditions of Vegemite on toast for breakfast.

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.”

Crazy… just… crazy.
