Can I leave the country with self-heated meals when traveling to the UK?

When traveling to Europe, customs clearance is much stricter than in mainland China, especially food...

(1) All chicken, duck, goose, pig, beef, sheep, deer and horse meat are not allowed. Can. No matter if it's sealed or not, or it's vacuumed, or it's covered in dozens of plastic bags. It doesn’t matter if you have meat floss, intestines, mooncakes, biscuits, ham, canned meat, cured meat, sauced meat, fresh meat, bacon, dried meat, meat pie, meat dumplings...it won’t work

(2) Meat may be OK in rare cases:

That is, if it is in a sealed can, and the English label clearly indicates that it is cooked, and the can does not need to be frozen. It can be stored for a long time. But the regulations keep changing, so this is just possible. But I don’t think such cans are delicious. Luncheon meat exists in the United States. And these are available in the United States and can be purchased, and they are not too expensive. Of course it depends on which city you go to, but San Francisco and Los Angeles basically have everything. Authentic ham is harder to find, but it is available. There is a chain store called Cordyceps City in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their hams are pretty good, and their other dry goods are also pretty good.

(3) Fish, any fish is fine, fish floss, dried fish, canned fish, raw fish... One of my buddies once brought me raw fish, he used a bag Sealed it and kept it in ice. People at the airport checked it and released it. Live fish looking down. The limit on caviar is 250 grams. If it exceeds 250 grams, all of it will be confiscated.

(4) Dairy products are generally acceptable. This includes yogurt and cheese, but since they are liquids, they must be checked in.

(5) Soy products are acceptable, such as dried tofu, fermented bean curd, etc.

(6) Babao porridge is acceptable, but it is also available in Chinese supermarkets abroad.

(7) Fruit, all fresh fruits are not acceptable. It is best to seal the dried ones, just use the plastic bags from the factory, they don’t need to be vacuum-sealed.

(8) All dried fruits are acceptable. I used to bring 10 bags of melon seeds and 30 bags of small walnuts every time. There are melon seeds here, but there are very few small walnuts.

(9) If the mooncakes contain egg yolk or meat, they are not allowed. Other types of mooncakes are allowed. If there is a clear description on the mooncake box of what is inside the mooncake, there is no need to open it. Otherwise, customs officers may not only open the box, but also cut open the mooncake for inspection. If someone wants to take advantage of the situation, it may not be possible to create a fake trademark, because the meat can be seen when scanning. If you cut it open and find meat inside, you'll be in even greater trouble. Eat more in China. In addition, you can buy mooncakes with salted egg yolk in big cities with large population in China. So far, I have never seen mooncakes with meat on sale. Meat dumplings are sold in some places in the United States and are produced in the United States.

(10) You can bring condiments, such as tofu, pickles, and various sauces, but they are easy to spill and the bottles and boxes are easy to break, so please be careful. They are usually available in Chinese supermarkets here, so it is not recommended to bring them. Dry seasonings are also available, but California has not allowed the entry of Sichuan peppercorns in recent years. Friends traveling from California should be careful. And you can’t buy Sichuan peppercorns in Chinese supermarkets in California, so don’t be surprised.

(11) Mushrooms, fungus, whatever. The dried and compressed fungus from Northeast China is very good, and it is very convenient to distribute it after arriving.

(12) If you bring something to eat on the plane, leave the leftover fruits, meat, and intestines on the plane and do not take them off.
