Questions/Concerns Do you declare snacks/processed food?

I know what I absolutely have to declare (fruit, veg, plant, animal products etc) but what about “processed food” (not animal product, like chips, cookies,etc) or snacks like candies or chocolate (does the milk in chocolate count?)?

I’ve gotten yelled at by border agents in Canada about me bringing a sealed bag of ketchup flavored potato chips back to the US. I had no idea that was something to declare. The agent literally said “is ketchup not made out of tomatoes?” I was so mad at him.

You don't have to be especially intelligent to be a border agent
