The latest news on the United Kingdom and European Union. A quiet but significant change has taken place for UK holidaymakers: they can no longer bring back meat or dairy products from EU and EEA countries for personal use.

From cheese wheels to slices of chorizo, these once-common suitcase staples are now banned at the border. The UK Government has framed this as a necessary update in post-Brexit import rules, warning travellers ahead of popular travel periods like Easter.
