Casu marzu[1] comes to mind, though wikipedia indicates that it's legal(ish) again. Not that I think it would be that great a loss to society if it were unavailable, but there you go.
Kind of an extreme example, though. I don't think that it justifies the notion that society suffers under a tragedy of many useful foods being unavailable. I also would need to be persuaded of that.

- foobarbazqux 13y agoOh yeah, I've seen that, it's like the lemon party of food porn or something. And anyway, it's only dangerous if the maggots are dead! I thought of a more mainstream example (to repeat myself from another reply) - there's a lot of regulations surrounding raw milk and cheese.
