Anyone recommend a Web Site which gives you details as to what food for personal consumption is allowed into the Netherlands and then down to France.

We used to be able to take food stuffs Pre Brexit but the Gov.UK site information is not very good.

Thanks
Shane

Different rules between travelling IN the EU and crossing (imaginary) national borders, than travelling direct from UK to EU, so from Netherlands to France anything goes, but from UK to Netherlands limitations on Meat/Dairy and derivative produce.

Useful info for Brits going to France: https://www.douane.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/2021-01/19/Brexit-guide-voyageurs-t........ ... browse to second half, it's in English!

What the Dutch say: https://www-nvwa-nl.translate.goog/particulieren/reizen-en-bagage/dieren-en-dierli........

Closely following what's going on with large number of Brit's going to France (off there myself at end of month) with the Le Mans 24 Hour race crowd at the moment, and it seems the vast majority are taking all sorts of banned things without much difficulty (GOOD English Bacon is a MUST personal import into France if you want a proper Full English Breakfast!), not many checks at borders.

If caught with banned stuff, risk confiscation is the worst! Not advocating breaking the rules, but it doesn't look like they don the rubber gloves and search every orifice for contraband substances! ... but don't blame me if they do stop you and you walk a little strange for a day or so!!!

Our French neighbour will be gutted not getting her Mature Cheddar.

The food thing has all blown over I reckon. I have never heard of anybody with caravan or motorhome being searched. We landed in Hook of Holland off the day crossing last Thursday with caravan. We had milk cheese & fruit as well but no questions asked. Just passport stamped & away. Did not even ask for proof of vac. It is non issue. Take what you want.

Every day should be a holiday!

I agree. Whilst we're not supposed to encourage what people consider is 'breaking the law' (and on some groups anything supporting 'take it with you and risk it' is thought to be doing that), we took things with us in the car, much as always. We have since taken chicken sandwiches, a caesar salad with parmesan, a beef and horseradish sandwich and a ham hock salad taken through security checks and actually 'asked the question' about whether it was OK. All was allowed on two recent Ryanair flights.
