Kraków travel answer 60 of 100

60. Can I take Polish cheese, sausages or other food home?

Check the customs rules of your destination and any transit country before buying, particularly for meat, dairy, plants and seeds. Personal food carried within the EU is generally treated differently from food crossing its external border, and temporary disease restrictions can apply. Leaving Poland does not guarantee your destination will admit the product. Keep original packaging and ingredient labels; for a non-EU trip, choose a souvenir only after confirming its import rules.
