The ban on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite" rel="nofollow">Vegemite</a> is because it contains folate, which it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite" rel="nofollow">appears</a> Marmite doesn't contain. The US ban isn't new, it is just apparently being enforced now. Folate's not allowed in anything but bread and cereal. It looks like Marmite’s safe.
