Travel and expiry dates

[Bobster16]

Hi
I’m travelling to Gran Canaria mid June. I want to take my oil with me. I have researched the paperwork needed etc and have everything sorted and ready to apply for the permit.
But - the oil I have has just gone past the expiry date on the bottle (I am using it quite slowly)…..so am I ok to take oils abroad that are past the expiry date or should I get a new bottle and then apply?
Thanks in advance

Hi Bobster, afaik it's not relevant, much of mine is OOD, doesnt mean a lot. If you have your script and original packing - tub/box and whatever the gov of the island require you will be fine

I read that they do understand you might run out of the specific meds you're applying with before you travel. I was told to just make sure to use absolutely the same brand when travelling that matches the paperwork.
