Illinois bans unsafe or unethical foods in schools, including Cheetos, shark fin, haggis, pufferfish, black pudding, and maggot cheese.
Illinois has banned several foods, including Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in schools due to health and mess concerns, shark fins over animal welfare, haggis since 1971 because of its preparation, and toxic Japanese pufferfish.
Black pudding and casu marzu, a cheese with live maggots, are also prohibited due to safety and health risks.
While federal standards apply nationwide, states can enforce stricter rules, especially in schools.
Though nearly 30 foods are restricted, enforcement varies, and some remain available through informal channels.
These bans aim to protect public health and promote ethical food consumption.
