Spain's customs officials prohibited food donated in a charity drive on the Rock from entering Spain where it was due to be shipped from the port of Algeciras to the Red Cross in Manila, citing problems over issuing certificates.
The departure of the 20-foot container packed with food, blankets, vitamins and drinking water will be delayed until after Christmas.
MPs viewed the delay as being politically motivated in the tense dispute over Gibraltar's sovereignty.
The container will now be collected directly from Gibraltar on December 29 at greater expense to the Maroc Atlas Gibraltar 4x4 group which organised the relief shipment, worth just over £600, as part of its charitable works.
The Head of the Spanish Customs Authorities in the border town of La Linea told freight company Redwood that only clothing, water and canned tomatoes would be allowed across the frontier because health certificates could not be issued due to the lack of facilities.
Fabian Valerga, warehouse manager with Redwood, said: “It’s crazy. We do not know at present if these instructions have been given by Madrid, or the Customs administrator is abiding strictly with the law, which I am sure with some goodwill a special permit could have been obtained for such a cause for a one off occasion.
“It’s about time such facilities were installed, like in any other normal border throughout Europe.”
Andrew Rosindell MP said: “The Spanish are behaving in a hateful fashion and it is totally inexcusable.
“Relations between Britain and Spain are at an all time low over their continuing bullying of Gibraltar.
“We are fast reaching a point where Britain will have no choice but to show Madrid – in a drastic way – that their behavior will not be tolerated.
“It is disgusting that the poor people of the Philippines should now be made to suffer due to this Spanish obsession.”
Luis Gonzalez the chief spokesman for Madrid’s Customs and Excise department said that food was denied access into La Linea as the office there "is not enabled by European legislation for the importation of products intended for human or animal consumption".
Mr Gonzalez added that the banned foods could be imported through Algerciras.
But from Gibraltar that would require an expensive passage by sea.
Graham Watson MP and MEP for south-west England and Gibraltar said the decision to block the relief food was “absolutely appalling”.
Speaking from Brussels on Friday Sir Watson said he intended to raise the matter immediately with Cecilia Malmström the EU Home Affairs Commissioner.
