Taking Food to Europe in your Fridge

Hello Motor-homers Does anyone know the updated information about what you can take to Europe (France) in your Fridge and Freezer from the UK? Some forums say no Dairy and Meat products, others say its ok to take these items
Also need to check if you need to turn your Fridge/Freezer off on the overnight ferry crossing We assume you would have to turn all gas off etc  Any tips would be great Thanks

We know a lot of people are still searching for information on what food you can take to Europe and our overseas team are always happy to help our members. There are restrictions on the food that you can carry into the EU. You cannot take meat, milk or products containing them into the EU; there are some exceptions, e.g. certain amounts of powdered infant milk, infant food, special food or pet food required for medical reasons. You cannot take plants including fruit and vegetables with the exception of bananas, coconuts, dates, pineapples and durians.

I hope this helps and for more overseas travel advice including information on taking food to Europe in your motorhome or caravan please visit our Travelling in Europe after Brexit page.
