  1. Yes that's very woolly indeed, and the guidance documents are rubbish on that point, and also on eggs and egg products. If you look at the actual document its written like an endless mobius band, saying first NO MEAT, and then personal 2kg allowance combined across all these categories, which in their detail actually exclude most normal meat products, and only include meat-based supplements for consumption and medicinal dog food. Unless of course you are from Faroe Islands or wherever....! In fact there are so many multiple sources for the customs information, that it makes the problems worse. The laughable fact is that the UK and EU are each issuing different interpretations of the same issue. All of which makes me want to have a meat-feast-barbecue before I travel, consume 15 kg each, and so never want meat again...
  2. So I did get the official customs response which is as senseless as most post-Brexit stuff. In essence the second a product leaves the EU is ceases to be an acceptable product to re-enter the EU. Pasted below is the essentially political response, nothing to do with food chain safety at all ! En réponse à votre courriel, je vous informe que les marchandises qui sont mises à consommation dans un pays tiers à l'Union européenne perdent leur statut communautaire une fois exportées hors l'UE, même si elles ont l'origine européenne. Je vous informe que l'importation dans les bagages des voyageurs de produits d'animaux en provenance de pays tiers à l'Union européenne est possible dans les conditions définies par le règlement d'exécution (UE) n°2019/2122 modifié.
  3. Yup we are tunnelling !!! So we have a mini fridge, planned to have Epoisses, Morbier and President butter ! Also looking into Bonne Maman. We might have to make do with Baby Milk Powder for a few days, though we don't have babies so that's a bit of a problem. Let's hope that the douaniers have better things to do. I am still seeking an official response - I found a French website but wonder if they will bother. Nice to have a piece of paper to wave back at them if stopped though... The basic idea is that we have 3 or 4 days food with us so that we can organise ourselves before ordering from a supermarket.
  4. The Leclerc sounds interesting, but Nice does not have a good Leclerc I think. I have seen pick up at shop for Monoprix, and Picard Surgele supposedly delivers 'a domicile', but being in a flat in Nice I think there are less delivery options than in a house (due to the entry doors I guess) But yes, we try not to have human contact if possible ! 2 years of 'house arrest' and finally we need to fix our flat, and escape another bleak British winter.
  5. We will be for a long stay and we are shielding. We bleach and leave all goods for 72 hours. We are REALLY careful, as high vulnerability. We eat a lot of French food even in England Can someone please answer the question...there must be an email address for the right office, or something...
  6. We are regular long-stay winter visitors to France as we have a place there. While there is plenty of clear guidance on foods not to be brought into France, I am wondering if certain French products, bought in the UK, would be allowable to customs for 'reimport' into France from the UK. I am thinking of products like AOC cheeses, President butter, French fish soups. We are also able to order Picard surgele and Bonne Maman products from Ocado. Similarly I suppose Italian or German brands. Provided they are produced in the EU, the idea is that they cannot be a problem (in theory!) Anyone know how I can find this out reliably....they're not covered on the normal customs sites.
