** Instant meals like dehydrated trekking food in concealed bags
When crossing the border to Chile you need to fill in a declaration, where if you are asked if you bring carrying any plant or food products. On this declaration the definition for plant or food products is very wide and includes all the permitted items as well. Therefore the best and only correct thing is to always state YES. If ask explain that you are aware of the restrictions and that you carry processed food and give examples.
If you state NO but something banned is found you will be charged a high fine.
