I don't know why OP started a new thread on this topic but this has been discussed ad nauseam in another GE thread.

Declaring does not mean CBP will inspect every item. If the word food is in the question, then your responsibility as a trusted traveler is to comply and be truthful and complete in declaration. Whether CBP waived you thru is their discretion. The next CBP agent you encounter may not look kindly on undeclared food and "an agent at MSP told me last month not to declare waffles" as a reason may not fly.

If the question has the word food in it, I would declare. The word food is buried in the meat/plant/seed question (at least at YUL GE kiosk two weeks ago) but there are reports that the word food in absent from some GE kiosks.
