Ready to Eat, retail packaged poultry food items from the United States

As of September 19, 2022, cross-border shoppers will be allowed to bring a greater number of poultry products for human consumption back across the border from the United States, regardless of whether the state is currently experiencing an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza or Newcastle Disease. These items must be retail packaged AND Ready to Eat, and must accompany the travellers across the border.

For more information, please consult the published Notice to Travellers.
