Car Won't Start, But Rac Can't Find...

Does anybody know if you are allowed to take pre-packed bacon (and other meats) abroad with you?
We are going to Turkey soon and know that the only bacon you get over there is streaky and pre-dominately fat, so we would like to take some good old pre-packed back-bacon rashers.

And as a matter of interest about where I live. If I drive down the road for ten minutes I can get to a beach with palm trees and gold sand and blue calm seas inside a coral reef which at this time of year is our mid winter and its 23 degrees C at the beach today. Got to admit though that I haven't seen a can of carling for a while now, plenty of rum around here though.
There's nothing on the Turkish Customs web site to say you can't. Nothing to say you can either. I suspect they are not worried or it would have been mentioned.
There are two reasons countries ban meat imports - health and religion. The US bans meat imports to prevent the import of agricultural diseases. Saudi Arabia and other moslem countries ban the import of pork and pork products because they find it offensive to their religious beliefs.
Turkey is moslem - though not to the degree some of the arab states are.
