Question

may sound like a silly question to some but i have seen adverts on tv saying its illigal to take foods to certian countries and i was wondering if i can take fruit to france. going to be going to disneyland so cant go to the supermarket and buy it while im there

Answer 1

why i think froggy food is better anyway you wanna try the frogs legs wicked

Answer 2

No, you definitely can't. Escpecially since the terrorist attacks, the laws on that have become very strict. Fresh products, i.e. fruit are especially dangerous to smuggle and you could face a fine.

It would be easier to bring something like chocolate in your luggage and the custom officials would not notice.

Answer 3

No you can't unless its snails

Answer 4

My first question would be... why would you go to France to go to Disneyland??  However, putting that question aside.  We brought food into france.  We were going to an event and we wanted to give our hosts gifts, so we brought wine and other food, so yes, you can.

Answer 5

where are you from? If you are outside the EU, I think you can't bring any food, this has to do with EU laws about animal products etc. Of course you could bring cookies or a sandwich or sth. Also, you can't take anything in liquid form as hand luggage, only small 100ml bottles. By the way french food is great, ask for the meat to be well done though. But travelling has to do with getting in touch with another country, and that includes food. I feel very sorry when I see American tousrists in Greece eating at MacDonalds, when this is known as junk food and the greek food is the healthiest and one of the best in Europe! When I go to a foreign country, I never eat in a Greek restaurant (I am Greek), because I want to try the food of the country I am visiting!

Answer 6

mainly meat, poultry and dairy products are illegal to import,,,

am not 100% certain on fruit and veg!!

you should ask your travel agent as they will know best as i imagine its somethiung they probably get asked often,,

unless of course a travel agent sees the question on here and answers for you,,

that would be handy!

Answer 7

You can take food to France, so long as it isn't a dairy or meat product i think, but fruit should be fine!

Answer 8

You can not usually take fruit to other countries as there is a danger of spreading some sort of pest !!

Answer 9

yes you can and MUST take food to france, you won't survive if you don't. french food is underooked and disgusting, anything other than french food is good to eat!

Answer 10

No I dont think so.

Answer 11

Dont worry about it, take what you want.

Who do  you think gave our country foot and mouth disease?

They werent so awkward in 1945 when we were rescuing them afetr their stomach churning display of cowardice.

Answer 12

Generally food is ok, but fresh fruit is not since it could contain bacteria or germs that could be harmful to the fruit in another country. The best idea is to bring dried fruit or something like that.
