The owner of a British food shop in Canada says he has been ordered to stop selling Marmite, Ovaltine and Irn Bru because they contain illegal additives. “I haven’t heard of anyone dying from consuming Irn-Bru in Scotland or Britain,” he said. “So hopefully we will get a favourable decision.”

One customer, Briton Nigel Westwick, told the Star Phoenix newspaper that he “couldn’t understand the insanity” of preventing Irn Bru from entering Canada.
“For a country that allows one to buy firearms, guns, bullets… stopping a soft drink suitable for all ages seems a little ludicrous.”
