Food in checked luggage to the UK
I will be moving to London next week to spend a year as a graduate student. I am wondering if it's possible to take with me some coffee (around 200 g - fine powder) and a type of roasted grain (around 500 g) that we eat back home, both for personal use of course. I checked the government services website for bringing food products into the UK but it doesn't provide any details on the types of items I intend on bringing with me. Should these items be declared to Customs? I am coming from outside the EU.
