Food and Drink Items That Are Highly Restricted or Banned in the US

However, some foods are practically impossible to find stateside, and that's because they've landed on the banned food list.

Montana’s Most Popular Dog Breed According to U.S. News & World Report
I just spent several months researching dog breeds. I've had dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with German Shepherds and a Pomeranian, and when I was an adult, I adopted Greyhounds.
