flag Illinois bans unsafe or unethical foods in schools, including Cheetos, shark fin, haggis, pufferfish, black pudding, and maggot cheese.

flag 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. flag Black pudding and casu marzu, a cheese with live maggots, are also prohibited due to safety and health risks. flag While federal standards apply nationwide, states can enforce stricter rules, especially in schools. flag Though nearly 30 foods are restricted, enforcement varies, and some remain available through informal channels. flag These bans aim to protect public health and promote ethical food consumption.
