Bringing food from the UK
Bringing food from the UK
Are the foot and Mouth restrictions still in place? I was at the Chatsworth Farm shop last week and brought some goodies back. A friend said they could have been confiscated but I thought it had finished. I suppose a trip to Gib for xmas goodies will be out, most stuff seems to have animal products in it.
Yes there is a ban Katy.
Personal Exports
Foot and mouth disease can be spread through a variety of food products which could carry the disease. As a precautionary measure, the European Union has introduced emergency rules to restrict export of potentially susceptible products from the UK. We are urging people to play their part in trying to prevent disease spreading between countries.
The banned products are fresh meat, meat products, fresh milk or milk products from animals which are susceptible to foot and mouth disease. It is impossible to draw up a comprehensive list of every banned food but some examples are bacon, sausages, ham (and sandwiches or pizza containing these), soups containing meat pieces, cheese, cream, butter, milk powder, yoghurt and ice-cream. This also includes items such as biscuits, bread, cakes, chocolate or confectionery that contain these products.
Baby milk can be circulated freely within the European Union, but other countries are understandably taking a very cautious approach and there is no guarantee that products will not be confiscated by foreign customs if they deem them to be a risk. Please see the Defra website for more information.

Thankyou Paula, just what I wanted to know 
I like to buy lamb from the UK. not because spanish lamb doesn't taste nice but they don't joint it the same. I did notice the last time I was in Gib that there was very little choice in cheese etc. and the meat was either spanish or Irish. So I suppose ordering stuff online for delivery to spain is off!

I had a fairly long list for Husband to pick up at Waitrose & M & S but will have to forget it by the looks of things.
You ought to try McKennas butchers (Irish) nr Calahonda for any special joints of meat. If you order they can usually get or do whatever you want. Have done me a lovely crown of lamb before.

meat
No live export , but dead meat can go out of the uk now, dont think we will be back to live export this year.
The markets died in the UK for a while and 2 weeks ago you could buy sheep for 2 quid a piece, just starting to pick up again this week.
