Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel seasoning, a favorite in many countries for its savory flavor, has been banned in South Korea due to its poppy seed content.
Poppy seeds are considered contraband in South Korea because they can be contaminated with opiates, which are illegal substances.
The ban has caused frustration among travelers who enjoy the seasoning, leading to increased confiscations at South Korean airports.
Despite the low likelihood of a positive drug test from consuming the seasoning, the strict regulations in South Korea leave the popular topping off-limits for now.
