Declare Trix for Canada?

8/8/2014 7:24:18 AM

Silly rabbit, Trix are for Americans!

Or maybe not. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) appears in Health Canada’s “Food additives permitted for use” list, with a specific permission for “Dried breakfast cereals”. So unless they’re wildly exceeding the limits, it seems unlikely that Trix would be banned for this, even though that chemical name sounds paint-thinner-o-licious.

In general, if you have the slightest doubt, declaring is always the safer route: much better to have something confiscated than be busted for smuggling.

That said, I can’t really see Canadian Customs being too bothered by a box of cereal, and there’s no need to be too specific. I’d just ask something like “Hey, do I need to declare any food I’ve got with me?”, and when they ask what, “A box of cereal”. Odds are pretty darn high they’ll wave you on.
