Do you have some countries in mind where that's illegal?

In Germany, selling goods for less then the one bought them for can be illegal if its used to push competition out on a large scale.
That would most likely be illegal in Finland. You're not allowed predatory pricing. And the same is true for the EU as a whole, although you may have to be operating in an international market, not just a local one. See Abuse of dominance in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_102_of_the_Treaty_on_t...
The US, the Sherman Antitrust Act prohibits predatory pricing.
So if I could charge less for chicken because I use that as a doorbuster to get you inside the store, but I charge more for other items, that is predatory pricing and against US law?
