We discussed interpretation of "food" and then when we went to the machine to practice we read in detail the items that were asked about. Read it some time. No chocolate candy could be interpreted as OK as there is no dairy in it they ask about dairy); He said to just declare eny food as 99% of the time you are jjust waved through for routine food. But he was the first to say that if yuo read the list on te kiosk in detail, there are many foods that are technically not asked aout.
Thanks for the clarification! I'll declare my food upon my return next month, so I can avoid any major problems with CBP...

Glad to hear that you got your interview taken care of. When I had my interview at MCO in November, the CBP officer was the friendliest person I have ever met that works for CBP.. We discussed the airlines, FlyerTalk, and just had a nice time.
