Cheesed off: UK tourists hit with meat and dairy ban

British tourists have been banned from bringing meat and dairy products back from Europe in a blow to travellers getting away for Easter.

Under new rules, travellers returning to the UK will not be able to carry beef, pork, lamb, mutton, venison, goat meat or dairy products. It means tourists travelling to the continent for the long Easter weekend will no longer be able to bring back small amounts of cheese and meat – such as a wedge of French brie or a German sausage – to give as gifts or to enjoy upon returning.

“If you’re travelling over Easter weekend, check what you can and can’t bring back before you go,” the government warned.
