Because you’ve been a victim of corporate anti-regulation propaganda.
The Kinder egg thing is because anything non-edible is banned from being mixed into foodstuffs as a general food quality measure. As in you can’t add gravel or dirt or whatever. It was also supposed to ban sawdust but they realized they could just call it cellulose and say it’s a fiber supplement.
This has the side effect of banning cheap plastic trash in your cheap chocolate that is a stupid product for morons (children).

You really want to do the whole American vs European chocolate thing?
Because Euroean doesn’t taste like vomit, unlike all US chocolates.
The food act the ban is based on is from 1938, whereas this import ban is from like the 90’s, so I’m more leaning to some capitalist shenanigans to block a competitor from a market idk. Although they were illegal even before that based on the law from 38, someone had imported some and were selling them and then they did the recall and import ban
And theyre serious about enforcing that
In January 2011, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) threatened a Manitoba resident with a 300 Canadian dollar fine for carrying one egg across the US border into Minnesota. In June 2012, CBP held two Seattle men for two and a half hours after discovering six Kinder Surprise eggs in their car upon returning to the US from a trip to Vancouver. According to Joseph Cummings of Seattle, Washington, one of the men detained, a border guard quoted the potential fine as “$2,500 per egg”.
