[quote=Anonymous]Kimchi is discouraged because of pasteurization/fermentation issues and food safety/handling concerns in the US.

There's plenty of similar examples:

France: Pregnant women often eat soft, unpasteurized cheeses like Brie or Camembert, while in the U.S., these are typically avoided due to listeria concerns.

Italy: Prosciutto and other cured meats are commonly consumed by pregnant women, whereas American guidelines advise against them unless cooked.

Mexico: Pregnant women may consume fresh ceviche, trusting local preparation, while U.S. advice generally warns against raw seafood.

India: Pregnant women commonly eat spicy curries and pickles, but in Western countries, spicy foods are sometimes discouraged due to concerns about heartburn.

Norway: Pregnant women often eat smoked fish like salmon, which is part of the traditional diet, while in the U.S., smoked fish is avoided unless cooked to kill potential bacteria.

China: Herbal teas and tonics are a common part of prenatal care, whereas in the West, herbal teas are discouraged.

Japan: Pregnant women often eat sushi or raw fish, as it is considered safe when properly prepared, while in the U.S., it is generally avoided due to concerns about foodborne illnesses.
