Bringing meat in luggage on airplanes

[Back Stabbath 1]

Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring raw meat from England to Ireland in your checked-in baggage?

 

I want to bring hunted meat home to my parents for my dogs.

Looks like you can only bring meat in, if it has the EU health mark:

 

 

Bringing in meat or dairy products

 

It is possible to bring in meat or dairy products for personal consumption, subject to certain restrictions.

 

If you are bringing in these products from the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA), you are allowed to bring in up to 10 kg of meat, milk and meat or milk products for personal consumption. Any of the products that you bring in should have an EU health mark on them. An EU health mark is an oval stamp with:

 

* The initials B, DK, D, EL, E, F, I, L, NL, P or UK on the upper part

* An approval number in the centre

* The initials CEE, EØF, EWG, EOK, EEC or EEG on the lower part.

 

Beef of UK origin can be imported if it is sourced from designated XAP (export approved premises) processing establishments and accompanied by the appropriate veterinary health certificate. The packaging should be labelled with the oval mark within which the lettering XAP, the approval number of the premises and the letters UK are clearly displayed.

Hmm... Ok.

Yeah, I think it would be best to cut it up first, lol, imagine the look on a custom workers face checking the bag, full of skinned rabbits, haha

 

I'll give it a go anyway, if it gets taken at least it was free, minus pellet costs....
