You know, I never check that box. I just always assumed it meant like real food. My wife who is orginally from Thailand comes back with sauces and canned items all the time. Maybe I should start checking it. Honestly, the ag inspection at ORD which they send us to sometimes after seeing where we are coming from (1 in 10 trips) isnt that bad. You put your bags on a belt and it goes through the machine and off you go. Not a big deal really. IAD looks like it is not as well organized but have never experienced it.
