Yeah, I've had inspectors wave me past for packaged chocolate and bottles/cans of soda so many times that I stopped declaring either long before GE. At least last time I checked, GE still used the clearer wording about "meats, plants," -- OTOH, I really like bringing snacks from abroad back for friends and family and I've had a lot of things that were fine get sent off or an X-ray and a visit with the Ag inspectors before being cleared.
