Hello. I am billed to travel to Italy in a couple of days. Are there prohibited food items? I actually planned to take along fried meat, ground nut and beans so as to take care of the first few days before aclimatisation.

Good advice will be appreciated.

bag of garri, bottle of groundnut and carton of sugar.

Meat, dairy and other animal products are not allowed into the EU from countries outside the EU.Moreover,meats are very cheap in Europe,you really dont need to bring it.I believe there should be no problem in bringing in beans and groundnuts though.My mum often bring me foodstuffs like egunsi powder,beans powder,gari,pundo yam,okro whenever she comes visiting.So i believe you will be fine bringing in those ones.It is better if you can get them in retail packages,that way the custom officers wont have problems identifying them.
