The Nexus machine asks if you are over your limit or have something to declare. It isn't food specifically but it will stop you.
I know in YYZ, there is the Nexus agent you flash your card when you pass. Last time I declared food (Chicago Pizza) I was processed before going down the escalator so I just walked out as per normal

Regardless if food is allowed or not, I would always click yes. Not worth loosing Nexus over something simple

Recently used 'OSS' connecting US > Intl at YVR. There is no separation on the arrival hallway, after deplaning, for OSS eligible flights. If they are saying passengers from non-OSS eligible flights need to be re-screened prior to boarding their connecting flight, what prevents them from handing off their bags to OSS eligible passengers during the walk down the arrival hallway, before the security checkpoint?
I've only experienced Germany's and Switzerland's version of OSS - and there is physical separation between passengers arriving from "OSS" eligible flights - i.e. they are directed to different arrival hallways/levels.

Quite obviously chocolate is a plant product, so it has to be declared.

Quick question. If the line is really long for OSS and I go the traditional way for Nexus, does it matter if I have a checked bag? The bag will still be transferred directly US-->Domestic so will anyone bat an eye if I leave airside without my bags? Or is the no-pickup checked bag scheme a separate program? I'm talking about YYZ here.

New to all this. Nexus holder flying DTW-YYZ-YHZ tomorrow. So if I understand this right (I have OSS on boarding pass) - I get off plane at DTW, and if the OSS line is long, its better to just go through Nexus and enter/-re-enter security then waiting in line and going on the bus?

It's been a long time since I've flown via YVR but today I'll be flying NRT-YVR-YEG. Does YVR have OSS? Debating whether to check my bag or not. If I check a bag would I have to reclaim in YVR?
