There is a web site with all the information on crossing the border. I used it twice, but forgot the adress. I crossed the border a few times with meat and never had a problem. Going into New brunswick they went through my MH and let us cross with dog food and meat.

The major problem on food etc, is not from the US into Canada but from Canada into the USA.
Just an FYI.... NO Canadian made pet food can be taken into the USA. Hills is another example of a US made pet food that is available in Canada through a vet. Most are made here in Canada and will not be permitted across the border.

Instead of worrying about Canadian food products they should look more closely at the crap from China that enters the US...

We have been taking summer sausage (made out of beef) across for the last two years. It is a product that is made in our area and sold at the farmers market. We have friends in the USA that ask us to bring it for them. Call US customs at the border crossing where you will be crossing and they can tell you what you can not bring at this time. We find it works very well to make a list of any food we have in the RV and when they ask about food we pass them the list. So far we have not had them take anything from us.

I'm a contractor at Customs and Border Protection, but just do programming work. Here's the info you need for entering the US.
http://help.cbp.gov/cgi-bin/customs....i=&p_topview=1
Quote:
The Department of Agriculture has recently relaxed rules for travelers arriving from Canada with food products involving some meat products. Beef and game products are now allowed entry. This includes frozen, cooked, canned or otherwise processed beef, veal, venison, elk, bison, etc. Hunter harvested game, including deer, moose, wild sheep, goats and bison is admissible from Canada for the traveler's personal use if accompanied with a hunting license, tag or equivalent. permit. Meat products from domestic lamb, sheep and goats is still prohibited entry from Canada.

I have a list from somewhere that I can e-mail you. Send me a PM with your e-mail. Beef is allowed to be taken into the USA now. We crossed into the USA this year and were told it was OK. It is also shown on the list I have as being OK. Most everything must be shown to be grown or processed in Canada or the USA.
Coming back into Canada is a different story. I do not have a current list for this, but as a general rule, I always assume its OK if its in its original package and shown to be processed in Canada or the USA. Fruit if its shown to be grown in the USA or Canada as well.
Have a great trip....

Canadian made dog food is acceptable to cross provided it does not contain Lamb or Goat meat.

The links I gave above are from Customs and Border Protection. They tell you exactly what you can and can't bring.

We are crossing over tomorrow at Sarnia to Port Huron, MI on our way to the NASCAR race in Michigan this weekend. I called the Agri. Inspection department at Port Huron and she assured me that the only restriction at this time is Lamb and Goat and Citrus fruit. The number at Port Huron is 810-985-8513 x281 if you have any questions.
