Brits BANNED from taking mini sausages, cheddar cheese and pork pies to the EU after No Deal Brexit
People entering the EU from the UK will be checked for 'animal-based products' and face being branded 'smugglers by customs officials.
BRITS will be banned from taking favourite foods like pork pies, cocktail sausages and Cheddar cheese on holiday to Europe after a No Deal Brexit.
People entering the EU from the UK will be checked for "animal-based products" and face being branded "smugglers" by customs officials.
Top eurocrats confirmed the tough new rules would apply the day after Britain left without an agreement.
A senior EU official said: "You will have to pick and choose what you’re bringing back from the UK.
“Any animal-based product is something you will not want to put into your luggage if there's no deal.
"There will be no import of any ham, sausages or other delicacies. That’s the end of that.
"It's not to annoy anybody. The reason is you can bring some very serious diseases into the EU by bringing these types of products."
Brussels red tape states that products derived from animals can only circulate freely within the EU's economic zone.
The ban would end a long tradition of taking cool boxes stocked with favourites from home on holiday to the continent.

It will also heavily affect expats in the EU who use short trips back to the UK to buy up British foods they can't get abroad.
Eurocrats said it will be up to UK customs authorities to decide whether or not they would reciprocate the measure.
One top EU source quipped: "Eating only British cheese would be a pity for people in the UK."
