I am by no means a chef, but my wife and I do love to cook. We will be traveling with two young children to Caye Caulker for a few days and I wanted to bring some meats and cheese. My kids also have some food allergies, so I was hoping to bring some staples they can eat. I know that US Customs frowns on bringing food into the country - is Belize as strict?

Thanks in advance! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

belize forbids any animal products. the cattle are free from Hoof & Mouth disease, and they want to keep it that way. The food available here is fresh and organic. not a huge variety but what there is here, is good. Please do not bring food items here. Hope this works for your kids.
