Not recent, but took a school group on a sea kayaking expedition to Alaska and got all our dehydrated expedition meals (except the veggie ones) confiscated at the airport!
We were fine, we were doing the JMT and took about half of our food. However it's so easy to buy over there why take the risk. The price and selection is superb.
In reply to marsbar:I’ve taken a load over to Alaska a couple of times without getting it confiscated, but unless you are getting it free you might as well buy it out there from REI.
I believe its not permitted although whether the ban is actually applied seems to vary. In 2017 I asked at US customs in either JFK or Newark about it and was told it should be OK. On my next flight over I took in about 15-20 packs, declared it at customs, they x-rayed it and let it through. I had Expedition Foods veggie, beef and chicken meals. If I recall correctly Expedition Foods said they often send stuff to the US without problems. Best declare it though.
