Jesus. That's terrible. I'm so sorry. What got him red flagged?

We brought food. Even declared the 3 apples in the uhaul and they were fine.

You could always be brave and bring a sweetly scented cinnamon roll for the border guard...

Seriously, though, the concern is more with unprocessed agricultural products and dairy (cheeses, milk). I don't bother with raw fruit or veggies across the border any more. The whole idea is to quarantine areas from potential invasive species or plant-based diseases, plants hosting insects, etc. On Vancouver Island, they were extremely diligent because so much manages not to get across the Strait of Georgia naturally. The last thing we'd want is, say, something like Asian carp roe...

I think you'll be good for the buns. The seeds might be a bit iffier, but if they're packaged up, you're not dealing with standard seeds. Those are snacks unlikely to germinate, as far as I know. I've never had a problem with bringing almonds or canned macadamias across. Make sure that if you're asked, you declare what you have for gifts and whatnot. They may or may not go through your trunk.

Good grief - I bring tons of food everytime I come back from Canada......no fruits or veggies of course but I get fresh baked goods at the market such as bread and pastries that will freeze well once back home. I bring tons of canned goods and condiments, sometimes boxed cereals, kraft dinner and about 7 packages of Schneider's Red Hot hotdogs. We declare what we have when they ask at the border and haven't had a single problem ever. perhaps because we travel relatively frequently.
