The United States government has officially reversed the import restriction on Vegemite. This victory ensures that our favorite staple remains available for all who enjoy it. I appreciate the dedication shown by the 805 people who supported this effort to preserve a piece of Australian culture.
The US has started enforcing a ban on Vegemite because of the inclusion of foltate which the FDA states can only be included in breads and cereals.
It is hard enough for Australians to be on the otherside of the world without the US government stopping them eating their little Aussie Icon. Not to mention those of us who are American who love Vegemite on toast each morning!
Vegemite is as true blue as you! So you Vegemite lovers, stand up and sign out petition.
We want to have Vegemite in the US BECAUSE:
We love our Vegemite,
We all adore our Vegemite,
It puts a rose in every cheek!
The feedback regarding these restrictions has been overwhelming and confirms that Vegemite remains a staple for many people across the country. I am currently working to organize our findings to present them to the appropriate regulatory offices. Thank you for your continued patience while we pursue this matter.

The FDA has bigger things to worry about than yeast spread.
