The UK has implemented a temporary ban on travelers from Europe bringing meat and dairy products into the country due to an increase in foot-and-mouth disease cases. The ban, effective from April 12, affects all EU and EFTA travelers, including British citizens, and includes items like sandwiches and cheeses. Violators may face fines up to £5,000. The ban does not apply to Northern Ireland or certain exempt products like infant formula and chocolate. The UK aims to prevent the disease's spread while ensuring food security.
