The UK government has imposed a temporary ban on bringing cheese and meat products from the EU to prevent foot and mouth disease (FMD). The ban affects all travelers arriving in Great Britain, with severe penalties for violations.

The National Farmers Union supports the ban, emphasizing the need for strict biosecurity measures, while the Guild of Fine Food acknowledges the urgency but highlights challenges for small businesses.
