As more individuals have turned to healthier and alternative diets in recent decades, the demand for soybean-based goods has skyrocketed. As a result, soybean farmers around the United States have decided to genetically modify their crops in order to improve the quantity of each harvest while shortening the growth process. Chemicals used to genetically modify soybeans have been banned in a number of nations, including roughly half of the European Union, due to their increased risk of cancer.

Banned in: Space
Reason: Lack Of Gravity

Many people have fantasized of experiencing the weightlessness of space, but nothing can entirely prepare you for all of the peculiarities of space travel. For example, most people are unaware that salt and pepper are prohibited in space due to their granular form and lack of gravity. Yes, the grains of salt and pepper could be hazardous to the electronic equipment, but before anyone thinks astronauts are forced to live in space without the luxury of eating flavorful food, they have been given liquid infused with salt and pepper instead to compensate for the ineffectiveness of the grains of salt and pepper.
