Travellers arriving in Great Britain face import ban on EU meat and dairy
Briefly

Starting this weekend, a ban prohibits British tourists from importing meat and dairy from EU nations due to foot-and-mouth disease concerns. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs cites a rise in cases in Europe as justification for protecting UK livestock, although the disease itself does not affect humans. The strict guidelines extend to all meat types, including cured and raw, and even packaged goods, to sustain the UK’s disease-free status. The ban specifically impacts travelers to Great Britain and not other regions like Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man.
The new ban on importing meats and dairy from EU countries aims to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, crucial for protecting UK's animal health.
Despite the restrictions being targeted at meat and dairy, the public will face challenges as even cured meat sandwiches will be confiscated.
