Simon Calder: Why Britons bringing cheese and meat back from Europe could be landed with £5,000 fine

Britons could face a fine of up to £5,000 if they bring back meat or cheese from Europe.

Tourists have been warned not to bring dairy products back from Europe, by the UK government.

Under new rules, travellers returning to the UK will not be able to bring back beef, pork, lamb, mutton, venison, goat meat or dairy products.

The Independent’s travel correspondent Simon Calder explains: “The UK has not previously had a ban on dairy and meat products since Brexit, but now we do have one and it is to do with the concern over foot and mouth spreading in the UK.”
