Bringing packed lunches to Guernsey

Last updated: 30 April 2025

Due to temporary restrictions to prevent the spread of Foot and Mouth there are some foods you cannot bring into Guernsey.  Please do not bring in red meat or dairy products.

But there are still lots of options for packed lunches which you CAN bring in:

Bread and sandwiches, pasta and noodles, are fine so long as they contain no red meat or dairy products.  Fish, poultry, eggs, fruit and vegetables are all ok.

So here are some options of what you can have in your sandwiches or pasta:

• Chicken or turkey
• Tuna or salmon
• Crab, prawns or lobster
• Eggs
• Mayonnaise
• Olive oil (or any vegetable oil)
• All vegetables
• Peanut Butter
• Jam
• Honey

You can also bring in other snacks such as:

• Biscuits or crackers
• Crisps
• Sweets
• Nuts and seeds
• Fruit
• Vegetables

We look forward to seeing you in Guernsey. 

We are sorry about the restrictions, but if you want dairy products while you are here, our own locally produced milk, butter, cream and ice cream from our famous Guernsey cows is some of the best in the world, and well worth a try!
