Australia: No chicken, dairy, meat, fruit, or vegetables unless it's retorted/shelf stable (Such as La Briute meals) shmebeble had issues with MealMart- 26 meals
Fiji: Same rules as Australia.
Maldives: No alcohol
Mexico: No beef or cream cheese. Chicken YMMV.
New Zealand: Similar to Australia, some small differences but expect thorough checking
United States: No meat, fruit, or vegetables.
Costa Rica: No raw meat (According to the Health Dept rep at LIR, it's meat on the bone that's an issue, he let us keep all the meat that had no bones - this may be relevant to other countries)
Nicaragua (land crossing): No issues with meat etc, but they taxed us for the 40 bottles of wine (I quickly mocked up a receipt on my phone showing the original price per bottle as $4)

Reminds me how when I went there with DW and one month old baby, we handed the passports and birth certificate (at that time kids could still travel to Mexico with only a birth certificate) to the border agent (at the airport. The agent looks at the birth certificate first, sees the name and asks me "Uste..... [my daughter's name]?"
I know it was two years ago, but just saw it now and made me laugh. :)

Thailand I should be fine with Pom meals from the US?

Seems like it's a problem only from the E.U. but just want to make sure.

What’s the question?  Don’t bring anything to Panama as their kosher markets are better and cheaper than the US and even have shelf stable CY milk. :)

Why would you bring POM meals when the food there in Thailand so good and cheap?

For the maldives which is my next step.
Yes I'm eating right now Chabad USM meals and they are delicious. I didn't bring pom meals but I'll take meals from Awafi in SIN, only problem is that they have a very small selection for travel meals.
