Note, however, that if the kiosks are not working, or if you enter at a FIS facility that does not have GE kiosks, you are required to fill out the standard paper declaration which DOES use the generalized term "food," so you must check "Yes" if you have ANYTHING that can be consumed as food. If you don't and they decide to search you, you could risk huge fines and revocation of your Trusted Traveler status.

They were crystal clear with me on this point at my interview: if you EVER are caught smuggling once granted Trusted Traveler membership, they will throw the book at you.

Or....just don't bring in any food!
