Crossing border from Canada to USA
This has most likely been discussed many times but a search here didn't give me an answer & all the govt. websites I've read tend to confuse me . I'm wondering what food I'm allowed to take in our RV...

It certainly makes a difference if you're coming home vs. entering as a visitor. Sometimes, I think they ask questions that they already know the answer to, just to see if you lie about it. On the way into Canada, I was asked if I'd ever been finger printed. I truly didn't know the answer for sure, so I told him maybe when I joined the Navy, but I just didn't remember. And I still don't know the answer to that. At the time, it had been 30 years ago.
As I was sitting there in line, I saw an RV owner off to the side while customs officials finished removing everything out of it that wasn't welded down. He was clean, but had to put everything back by himself.
Coming home to the U.S. I was waved thru and barely had to slow down. I suspect that they know more about what they're specifically looking for than we do.
Strangely, when I crossed the border into Alaska and back into Canada on my way home, I was also waved thru.
