What food can you take to NZ
Hey peeps.
Just getting organised and I was wandering what food items you can take to NZ. I am primarily concerned with our spices etc? Anyone have any knowledge?

Re: What food can you take to NZ
when I had GB Liners out the other week, he said we could take stuff like tinned beans, peas etc but no meats or spices! Meats inc. Corned Beef just to clarify I can't remember what else now lol
Hope this helps

yeah I know what you mean! It's taken me ages to build up our supply of herbs and spices ....
I must look like a Corned Beef person as he clarified that 'my' corned beef would go off in the container! I never touch the stuff anymore

We were told no whicker and alsorts and I so regret leaving stuff behind. At worst they will destroy anything not allowed.

dont forget tho that spices and dried herbs do go off very quickly. its all grand having a stocked cupboard (mine is filled to the brim) but they lose their effectiveness remarkably quickly - about 4 months from opening.
so bear that in mind and it wont be so bad leaving them behind!!

If you store them in airtight containers in a cool dark space, they will last longer.

Have looked at the MAF site for updates, pretty good guide!
