Hello everyone 👋 has anyone brought Mama Sita's mix to the USA from the Philippines? Did you encounter any issues, or was it confiscated? Does anyone know if it's allowed to bring it when traveling to the USA?

If it's commercially packaged and sealed, and isn't an amount that would indicate you are reselling it, then you shouldn't have an issue.

 

You can buy it from Amazon, so it isn't as if it's contraband.

No issues bringing anything that is commercially packaged. You cannot bring raw meat, fresh fruit or vegetables. We brought back several dozen sachets of coffee and various prepackaged spices and had no issues with customs.

Which one? They have lots. But yes, no problem. Technically Magic Sarap is against the rules because it has chicken bullion in it. I brought at least 100 packets and they let me through but said that it's technically against the rules. I brought Mama Sita Tocino mix and others. I brought all of the Tang flavors I like because here they only have orange. I had 4 large suitcases of snacks and foods when we came back.
