Can you take stock cubes & gravy granules/powder?

[Ros & Jim]

I once had a tub of Bisto gravy granules taken off me at MCO. Although the ingredients said there was no meat the customs officer said I couldn't take it in. I only took them as they are quite expensive in the States.

Was it the red one? Some of the other types of Bisto have beef extract in them. I now have a print off of the ingredients. Have declared it every time and not had a problem yet! Just takes one customs officer I suppose. We are at there mercy. For a holiday I would not be bothered at all, but I have to bring my yearly supply back!

What's in this stuff then if not meat extract?!

I was just thinking maybe onion but then why would it be brown? It is brown isn't it?

Yeah the glass jar one has beef in. I know it's not the end of the world just if I can take it I'd like to!

You cant take the glass jar one with you, and nor have I ever seen it in Florida. Only the red cardboard tub one I'm afraid.

I didn't mean the glass one. I was saying the glass one has beef in!
