Have you ever wondered why some foods that seem perfectly innocent (raw milk, haggis) are illegal in the U.S. and ones that will kill you are perfectly legal (we’re looking at you, blowfish liver).. well, fear not for Yahoo! Health has put together a list of foods that will land you in jail or kill you… or both. Many find it bizarre that in the United States it is perfectly legal to eat lion and shark fin (in most states), yet raw milk and young cheese is completely illegal.

It’s all a big mess and highlights the fact that the way our food is regulated can be ridiculous. Here’s our list of items that could land you in the hot seat (or in a coffin!), and the (often nonsensical) reasons why.
Raw Milk
Almost all milk on grocery shelves has been heated to kill bacteria through the pasteurization process. The FDA saysthat “raw milk can harbor dangerous microorganisms that can pose serious health risks to you and your family.” But even though the sale of raw dairy is illegal in most states, it has been gaining popularity in recent years. Fans claim that the beneficial bacteria and enzymes make raw milk more nutritious and easier to digest, and that the risk is low with a trusted source.
