Bringing tofu down to Baja

Bajagypsy - 7-28-2007 at 06:45 AM

I'm not sure if this question has been asked before, but does anyone know if bring tofu products down is allowed? Do to recent health issues I can't eat meat anymore:( I have tried seafood, and am able to eat a little bit, but I will need to bring all my hippy food down. Will it be confiscated?

I dont remember what part of Baja you come to but CCC and Costco have tofu.

We will be going to Shari and Juan's for a few days to BOLA to dive with whale sharks, and then onto Mulege, I will try to stop at Costco, if I can't bring my stuff with me.

I think you have never been safer with a border crossing in your life, if they want it make them taste it first.:P:P

I can see the headlines now........

"Huge tofu smuggling ring busted at the US/MEX border. Bail denied"

That was what I was worried about:yes:!!!!, I know it is a silly question, but I was just wondering. I do agree about having them taste it, but that to might have me thrown in jail, cause they thought I was poisining them!!!!

Don't be concerned about it. Those border guys know what tofu is, besides, they arn't going to be digging around in your food.

We have never had a problem, but we also don't bring things down that we aren't supose to. Thanks for all the info.

Could you pack a few extra tetrapack tofus for me too and I love those tofuweiners...you wont have a problem...why don't you just take the airport road a few miles before the GN border...turn right at the airport sign and just go through GN...no worries.

FYI, I was amazed at the food selection at the Walmart in Ensenada. They had many health foods which I would never expect to find at a Walmart.

...for several years.

The only time the migra has been interested about my cargo was when I had computer equipment and 300 lbs. of dog food (they thought I was going to resell the items).

I just showed them the repair tickets for the computers and pictures of the rottweilers, German Shepherd and the Great Dane.

They responsed, "Pasale!"
