In the past, we've taken vast amounts of food (small domestic chest freezer and fridge/coolboxes) full of meat and pre-prepared meals for our camping trips, as did a great many of our UK camping neighbours on the pop-up temp campsite at Le Mans 24Hr race, but I've only been once since Brexit and that was a 'lightweight' minimalist trip, so not in a position to take much anyway so we didn't take anything in the way of food, but other UK campers seemed to do as they have always done and 'smuggled' whatever they wanted without any tales of stops, searches, confiscations or fines! Certainly never saw any signs anyone was being checked/targeted as we went through immigration.
We're a mini 'community' of motor race supporters, with our own online forum and dozens personally know to each other, experiences are shared quickly and widely amongst many hundreds of us attending the race, but no tales of anyone having problems. Even those with caravans/MH's who had them checked for illegal immigrant/passengers, who had fridges and coolboxes full of 'contraband' didn't get any hassle, really don't think the French staff at ports give a damn, it's a politicians bureaucratic thing, and that's where it stays!
The odd and unsubstantiated tale of being caught that I've heard (AFAIK no one has ever verified a single persons claim - think it's just scaremongering/personal fame seeking!), has only resulted in confiscation of goods, so not too high a consequence for being a 'criminal'!
Suspect there may be a far greater risk of UK customs being 'fussy' about how much French beer/wine/cheese etc. you try and get back into UK! - there'll be 'duties' due on over quota, so that always motivates them!
