For anyone else reading, food is prohibited from going through customs at many borders, because most types of food have a risk of carrying either diseases or invasive species (often in egg form).
Not sure how it is in Europe, but generally if you're crossing an ocean customs have very strict rules regarding organic matter.
Especially the Australians, their history of invasive species is extensive (several of which were brought over deliberately for pest control, only to make the problem worse), and they would very much not like to deal with any more.

Video evidence of Chinese "diplomats" kidnapping someone they have no authority over to beat him in the street and drag him into a building to torture and/or murder him

Pretty sure having video evidence of them kidnapping a foreigner into their embassy to torture and/or murder him gives the UK the right to say "Those people are not diplomats"

So technically under UN law / law of nations type stuff, embassy land belongs to the country whose embassy it is. This is a show of good faith, and also lets those working in the embassy abide by the laws of their home country.
What the Chinese did here, then, was kidnap an English citizen across international borders to torture him.
When a foreign country is kidnapping your citizens, that is what I do believe the UN calls "I don't care if it's your embassy China you are violating every notion of peace ever conceived"
