Why has the UK banned imports of French and Italian cheeses?

Food and Drink For Members The UK has banned imports of raw milk cheeses from France and Italy on what it says are safety grounds - but the same cheeses are still on sale around Europe.

Why not just pasteurize all dairy products? Before you say "costs" yes, I am willing to pay a little more for a pasteurized product. Raphael 2025/07/22 18:54 Can you provide the source for the statement that Parmesan is unaffected by the ban? The website states that all cheese from the EU is covered by the ban and the Cheese Academy website for which you provide a link expressly provides British alternatives as substitutes. I would not like to bring back some Parmesan from my forthcoming trip only to have it confiscated or worse. Can you clarify please?
