Can I take food in my luggage to Japan?

[glow-lor]

I am going to Japan on the 31st this month and I was wondering if I could take snack bars in my hold luggage over there or even my carry on?

http://www.customs.go.jp/english/summary/passe nger.htm doesn't seem to suggest there could be a problem

Dzug. Where that site doesn't make any mention of food, I would say it's a given that no consumables would be allowed.

Biosecurity & all that.

Most countries you can take food - particularly manufactured food rather than raw ingredients. Meat and daily products are the main targets in those countries that do have restrictions.

... and never even think of taking the stuff into Australia. The fines there are absolutely superb for Govt. revenue raising.
