Brits will need to be aware of what food and drink they can take with them on holiday to avoid falling victim of EU rules and they include some surprise items.

Since Brexit, people looking to head into the EU need to follow specific rules and regulations about what they can take.

The guidelines are set out in the European Travel Retail Confederation (ETRC) and it means that meat and dairy products cannot be taken from the UK into the EU - rules that date back to the 2001 Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak.

It means any lovers of cheeses like Wensleydale or British bacon will have to leave them behind, reported the Express.

Even chocolate, fudge and sweets, though, containing animal-derived products will not be permitted either.

So fans of Bovril with beef stock will be disappointed if they hoped to take it on their holidays but Marmite, which is vegan, is allowed.

There are specific rules allowing powdered infant milk, other baby food and that needed for medical reasons which doesnt require refrigeration.

This means that when travelling with kids, for example, up to 2kg of powdered infant milk is permitted, and the same goes for pet foods.

An exception also applies to less than 10kg of meat and dairy products that come from the Faeroe Islands or Greenland.

Anyone looking to pack alcohol into their luggage should bear in mind the maximum allowed quantities four litres of still wine and 16 litres of beer, one litre of spirits, or two litres of sparkling or fortified wine.

Safe for many Brits who can't live without a cuppa, tea bags face no restrictions.

As limited quantities of fish it needs to be gutted, with all the organs removed and processed fishery products are also permitted, Scottish smoked salmon can still be taken to Spain.
