Bringing food and drink into EU countries

Drivers travelling to the EU should be aware of additional restrictions to personal imports taking effect from 1 January 2021. If you are carrying prohibited items in your luggage, vehicle or person you will need to use, consume, or dispose of them at or before the border.

From 1 January 2021 you will not be able to bring POAO (products of an animal origin) such as those containing meat or dairy (e.g. a ham and cheese sandwich) into the EU. There are exceptions to this rule for certain quantities of powdered infant milk, infant food, special foods, or special processed pet feed.

You could make a ham baguette in NI with ham only on one side. Take it to the boarder line and put ham from Southern Ireland in the other half. Then you could not legally move the sandwich north or south.

How about west or east?

I suppose I'll have to get used to Swiss cheeses and sausages. No more bringing the best of English cheeses over to impress the local foreigners.

At least marmite and tea can legally cross borders.

“Personal goods containing meat, milk or their products brought into the EU continue to present a real threat to animal health throughout the union. It is known, for example, that dangerous pathogens that cause animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and classical swine fever can reside in meat, milk or their products,”

Isn't it strange that something which may well have been made with imported EU products can suddenly be a clear and present danger when eaten within the EU? I don't believe animal welfare standards in the UK will fall below those in Greece on Jan 1st (I know for a fact they won't, it would take decades of barbaric farming to become worse than Greece).

It's what happens if you can't reach agreement. EU HGV drivers won't be able to bring their ham and cheese sandwiches into the UK, so it's reciprocal.
