Yes, about 5% chicken, 10% preservatives, 85% space age copolymer.

It's sometimes hard to tell what has a higher poultry content. The McNugget or the toy in the happy meal LOL.

Poultry was a nono both ways across the border in 2015/2016 due to Avian flu outbreaks on both sides of the border. No meat , no eggs. I remember they had to kill off several large chicken farms and then disinfect the barns, down around the London area.
Then there was a smaller problem and we couldn't bring chicken North if it came from, I think, 3 different states.

Interesting. Don't recall it at all, and have been crossing the border weekly since 2012. Not once have we been asked specifically about poultry, on either side, and never about other meats, as long as they're all inspected, processed, and packaged.

Found this for the curious.
Don't count your chickens.....

I guess some people like the 20% "solution" in US chicken breasts that isn't in Canadian chickens.

Well as I understand there are no chickens in Canada cus they all went South, they are Snow Birds!

Poultry has been ok for some time now. We shop in the US (Plattsburgh NY) and bring chicken back without an issue.

Having said this, the regulations can change at a moments notice, so it is best to call the Canada Customs folks; they are always very helpful.
