I always, always check the box for food and explain what kind of food I have to the customs agents. Oddly enough, it inevitably means that I get through customs far more quickly - they're soothed by my explaining what kinds of food I have, and my knowing what kinds of food are absolutely verboten.
Bringing in meats is potentially a serious problem, so I'm glad to hear you're not doing that any more.
