Marmite question

Hi all. A crazy question but we are flying to Orlando next month and need to know if it's U.S. immigration allow us to pack marmite in our case? My 2 boys can't live without it.

Not sure of the answer, but the supermarket chain "Publix" does have an "ethnic food section" that contains many of the things we have come to love in the UK.

Pretty expensive though

Marmite is fine, just need to declare it on the customs form.

Hi
I have done a US supply run of the black stuff for many years. No problems. In theory you should declare it but I "may" have negleted to in the past.
You can get it in some of the bigger superstores but they tend to be a drive away and there's no guarentee. Plus it's pricey.

There is a line of grocery stores called Shaw's. The larger ones now have an "English" section - Yes, that is not a joke!!! Its near the Asian, Italian etc.
Its sits there all proud along with Tetley tea, Twix's (of all things) and some others.
Cost was not that bad but in all honesty, just put in the suitcase wrapped.
I put foodstuffs (from candy / sweets to wine) in the checked bags every trip and have never had an issue.

Last time we went through LHR I think WHSmiths had a travel pack of little plastic pots of marmite. Each pot was approx. one serving.
We got some for my OH as he loves the stuff, I hate it :-p

The US Customs website specifically mentions that Marmite is allowed:

The following are generally admissible:
-Condiments such as ketchup (catsup), mustard, mayonnaise, Marmite and Vegemite and prepared sauces that do not contain meat products
