UK travellers are being warned that bringing certain foods is no longer allowed under new, post-Brexit rules.
Meat and dairy products
The European Commission has stated that anyone arriving into the EU from non-EU countries, which now includes the UK, cannot bring meat or dairy products with them.
This is an important rule change, that could see UK travellers - who have previously enjoyed more relaxed rules - get caught short by this new regulation.
According to the Commission's website, if you were to travel with meat and dairy products you ‘may be liable for costs or penalties’.
This rule applies to cakes containing cream, as well as any sweets containing gelatine. So, for example, English cheeses like Wensleydale, clotted cream fudge and even mince pies (if they contain suet) would be banned.
Exceptions
It's important to note that this rule does have a few exceptions, but all products must be in sealed, original packaging:
Powdered baby formula or milk
Pet food, required for medical reasons
2kg of honey
20kg of fish
2kg of live oysters
