Stupid on CBP's part in my book. It was probably freeze dried chicken. Maybe a couple pieces. Not like you were bringing back fresh chicken breasts...

I did forget to mention once, going to Mexico, they took the beef jerky which I brought from the US. I guess beef from the US did not meet Mexico's quality controls...........
