In Canada it is perfectly legal to acquire a firearm and bullets. But Marmite and Irn-Bru are apparently a threat to the nation’s health after the Canadian food watchdog banned some of Britain’s most popular exports from supermarket shelves.

A British speciality food store in Saskatoon faces closure after the Canadian authorities declared that the essential supplies it provides for Bovril-loving Anglophiles are illegal in the country.

Marmite, Irn-Bru, Penguin bars, Lucozade, Bovril and Ovaltine have all fallen foul of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which objected to food-colourings, vitamins and minerals contained in products from the United Kingdom.

Tony Badger, owner of Brit Foods, a convenience store in the Saskatchewan city, warned that his livelihood was under threat after officials pulled products from his shelves and impounded goods which had been imported via Montreal.

THE country which exports Bieber has banned an artificially sweetened concoction filled with mood-altering chemicals.

Canada claims Irn Bru contains high levels of dangerous substances which can make children go bad. A government spokesman said: “It’s very sugary, but that hides a much darker side. It contains substances which under our laws are not only illegal but cause nightmares filled with dancing, blood-soaked vampires.

“If children are exposed to Irn Bru they go all giddy, but then become hyperactive and unreasonable before forming a vast and terrifying army which if left unchecked will destroy absolutely everything in the world.

"Bieber is made from dried herbs and some pink, sticky goo. Unlike Irn Bru, Bieber is a healthy and delicious substance which is just going through some stuff at the moment.”
