Food in checked luggage to the UK

score:13

The right thing to do is, when in doubt, declare it.

After the baggage claim, choose the red "goods to declare" lane, wait for a customs officer to show up if they're not already there (sometimes you need to push a button to summon them), and say "I'm bringing such-and-such food items with me; is that alright?"

In the happy (and likely) case you will be told it's fine, just move on.

Otherwise you'll have to leave the items to be destroyed. At these quantities, import duties are not really relevant, so the main consideration is whether there may be agricultural pests hitching a ride in your food. And if they think there's a risk of that, the quantity doesn't matter.

If possible, bring your supplies in unopened industrial packaging. This doesn't always make a difference, but can sometimes make things easier.
