Technically, you need to declare the food. If customs does search the bag and find them there could be a problem. About 10 years ago, I tried to bring sand from Israel into Canada and it was confiscated (the customs agent was nice about it, though). Check out Canada customs if you want more information about Canada.Check out this website for the U.S.
If they don't check (which they often don't) you probably don't have a problem if you don't declare food. If they do, you might.
Good luck!

I brought dried apricot back from Turkey. Declared on the custom form because it asked whether I have any fruits..etc. The custom officer asked what kind of fruit I brought back. When I told him it was dried fruit, he just let me go. No hassle at all.I have also brought tea back from China many time. The custom form does not ask, and I have never declared them.

I will soon be traveling from US to China. I want to take non commercial fruit leather with me as presents. Will I have any problems at customs into China?
