Disgusting discovery: 40 kg of meat and fish discovered in the suitcase – “Unfortunately not uncommon”. In October 2023, officials at the airport made a similar disgusting discovery with 8 kilograms of unrefrigerated meat.
Two tons of animal products had to be confiscated at Hannover Airport alone in 2022. Meat products from countries outside the EU are not allowed to be imported without further ado due to regulations to protect against animal diseases. Fish products, on the other hand, are generally permitted as long as their total weight does not exceed 20 kg.
