Frosted Flakes

  Not for sale in: Japan and the EU Why? Has BHT in it There are a lot of various kinds of breakfast cereals, but Frosted Flakes is without a doubt one of the most popular. A lot of kids want their parents to purchase them this cereal since it has a lot of sugar in it. But that's not why Frosted Flakes are illegal in Japan and several EU countries.  

That's because Frosted Flakes have butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in them, which is a common ingredient in pharmaceuticals. This BHT can be very dangerous and harmful to people when taken in large amounts.
