The second half of the name, "junk food" should clue you in to the fact that you need to declare it in Australia. Their forms and signs are very specific. Any and all food. The FA on my flight told me she has to declare her Tic-Tac candy. If you think Australia is bad with regard to declaration of food & such, don't go to New Zealand.
