What exactly are the rules for food items we are supposed to declare when re-entering the US? I know that certain food items (chorizo) are definately not allowed to be brought into the US. However, technically are we supposed to declare ALL food items brought in? So, if we simply buy saffron, a couple of bottles of wine, candy, etc... are we supposed to declare these? If so, are there long lines? Are all of your bags searched or can you just keep the food items in one small bag so it can be quickly reviewed?
