Reunion restrictions on food on board from Mauritius & Rodrigues where they have Foot & Mouth.
Just in case anyone is sailing this way across the Indian Ocean, here is what I found.
My frozen meat that I bought in Darwin with labels on showing "Fanny Bay Gourmet meats" was fine. I kept that.
All fresh fruit & veg was taken. We didn’t have much.
Milk & cheese would be taken - although I was allowed to keep my UHT milk from Darwin. They missed a pack of cheese at the bottom of the fridge!
They are mainly after anything that was bought in Rodrigues & Mauritius. If you can prove that the food was from another place you have a good chance of keeping it.
They had a reasonable look around and opened cupboards & looked under obvious floor openings. Clearly there are were many places on board that they did not look!
Have a safe trip,
