I doubt it.

Denmark has high standards regarding food laws, and a policy of not
accepting political interference. It has banned other products that
are readily available in the western world. It has banned Red Bull,
most common pesticides, amalgam in dentistry, water fluoridation, many
supplements, etc., etc.

Denmark is probably less politically influenced than most western
countries. It seems (unusually) to put its people first, ahead of
profits for the private sector. Other countries could learn from it.
