The egg thing is also for going back into the US. Don't take eggs or chicken or it might be confiscated. I say might because we had frozen chicken in our freezer and after some cogitating and questions we were able to take it with us with a warning going into the States.

I can find no evidence of why you would have encountered this. The whole issue relates to an avian flu outbreak in the US; there's little reason that poultry coming from an area without the disease would be an issue.

Here's a link to the official rules as to what you can bring to the US from Canada: What food can I bring into the US?

Just a comment on this post. You can check the websites and then get to the border and have something that's OK (on the website) taken by the BP person checking your RV, we had it happen with US manufactured dog food a few years ago. Can you complain and make a fuss? Yes, but be prepared for the repercussions and a possible write up on some of their "watch" files, not worth the trouble. The officer at the border has the final say!

Note that you can be asked to prove the country of origin of anything you bring into the US in your refrigerator and freezer. Stuff from Canada is pretty much free of restriction but if you can't prove it came from there you could be in trouble.
