U.S. Chicken still a no no ?

Tried the websites?

According to todays info on Canada Border Services, Yes up to 20 kilos per person.
Scroll down to Meat Poultry fresh. Just be truthful if asked questions. You can say when you checked the official CBSA website if the agent of day questions you.

Aldi had chicken drumsticks on sale for US$0.69/lb last week. :B
We do it all the time.
When it comes to bringing produce or meats back, if they're packaged from the US grocery store or outlet, you're usually good to go, within the quantity limits.
I think they're more concerned about produce that hasn't been FDA/USDA inspected, like stuff from roadside stands, or direct from the farm stuff. Or hunting game/fishing catch.

**** straight it's still a no no. You Canadians don't seem to remember the last time you were stealing US chickens, and we had to send General Rutherford B. Hayes and Colonel Harland Sanders up there to teach you all a lesson in 1829 eh? Go ahead, keep it up.

hahahahahahahahah

I thought I saw Foghorn Leghorn roaming the border crossings, looking for Canadians with I say I say I say, contraband chickens. That boy's dumber than a sack of hammers, I say, I say.....

Always finger licking good....

2oldman.. Thanks for the link BUT I'm wanting to take it BACK into CANADA, not the other way around.

CBSA/CFIA links

Just click your way into the CFIA website from this one. It's got the lists and descriptions of what's allowed. As I suggested earlier on, if it's processed and packaged in the USA, and inspected by the FDA/USDA, you're good to go, up to 20kgs per person.

"Meat and poultry products (for example, jerky, sausages, deli meats and patties, foie gras)

up to 20 kilograms per person
packages must have identifying marks, indicating what the product is
proof of country of origin may be required

Meat and poultry: fresh, frozen and chilled

up to 20 kilograms per person
one turkey per person
packages must have identifying marks, indicating what the product is
proof of country of origin may be required

Please note: Within this limit on meat, the CBSA may have specific requirements.

Please consult the CBSA website for further information."

The CBSA warning just says to declare everything or face penalties. We usually just declare the $ value and whether we have groceries or dry goods, clothing, etc. and they decide the next move. Pass through, or secondary inspection. 99% of the time we pass through.

Just curious. Why did you think poultry was forbidden? We've been crossing the border regularly for 10 years and have never been refused importing anything, chickens included.

:) Hi, WHY???? Don't they have chickens in Canada?

This thread pushes one into deep thought.

I have been pondering what happens to the free range chicken in Sweet Grass Montana who decides to range north? I've had enough of this and will be petitioning my elected officials for 5500 miles of chicken wire.

While we're on the subject, leave our chicken pot pies alone too. You can however have all the Mcnuggets you care to tote back up there.
