The British government has implemented temporary prohibitions on bringing meat and dairy into the UK from EU and EFTA countries, citing the need to prevent foot-and-mouth disease transmission. Effective from April 12th, these restrictions are enforced on all meat and dairy products, including items like sandwiches. Non-compliance may lead to fines of up to £5,000. While Northern Ireland and some islands remain exempt, this action responds to a resurgence of the disease in Europe after years of absence in the UK, aiming to protect national livestock health.
The British government has banned travellers from bringing meat and dairy products into the country to curb the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, enforced since April 12th.
Travellers from the EU or EFTA countries face serious penalties for bringing restricted meat and dairy into Britain, as the UK aims to stay disease-free.
The new rules extend to all meat and dairy products, including sandwiches, regardless of packaging or purchase location, highlighting the severity of the restrictions.
This measure comes after a significant increase in foot-and-mouth cases across Europe, marking a preventative approach by the British government to maintain livestock health.
