prohibited food items going into Canada

We have gone over several times and each is different. We'll be going again next week. One oddity about food is that the Canadians will allow you to bring in meat provided it is still in it's original wrapping. For us, we would purchase 10 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and freeze them individually so we would only have to remove one or two at a time for cooking and it turns out that they could have taken them from us but they did not that time. Upon returning to the US I had forgotten that my wife had just purchased a green onion and a pepper the previous day to make a certain meal and when we crossed back into the US they took away the onion but let us keep the pepper.....the onion did not have a sticker on it but the pepper did.....I feel much safer now!

Have fun and enjoy the trip!
