From. British Embassy in Madrid. Many of us are used to taking food products to the UK when travelling to visit friends and family and vice versa. Some rules changed at the beginning of the year, so before packing your case, do make sure you are aware of the latest info. You can find information on taking food, plant and animal products into the UK at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/personal-food-plant-and-animal-product-imports. And on bringing meat and dairy products into the EU at https://www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.
