prohibited food items going into Canada
We are going into Canada (Maritimes) next week and still are unsure what food items are prohibited crossing the border into Canada. Has anyone made the crossing recently? thanks for your help

I cross almost weekly in to the US for shopping. It is now getting that prices on all goods except meat and dairy are pretty similar between the 2 countries.
Coming into Canada the big no-no for food importation is potatoes and blueberries, (yes blueberries). The only time we purchased said contraband in Michigan and tried bring them back to Canada we were directly asked point blank whether we had blueberries.
They were confiscated and I did look up the reasons online and found that a certain bug gets under the skin and is very hard to eradicate if spread. Same with potato bugs.
