Can a person take a turkey across the border to Mexico for the holidays?

Question

We want to take a turkey to our family for New Years and we didnt want to take it all the way to the border and then they tell us it is allowed.

Answer 1

i live in ciudad juarez in the border with the US, i always go to walmart or target to get groceries or other stuff i need, i have made my holiday meal with a turkey from walmart so yes, you can do that, my car has been revised by officers and see the turkey, you can do that

Answer 2

don't think so

Answer 3

No, you can't introduce any food, specially meats, neither from USA to Mexico nor Mexico to USA; because of animal health controls in both side of the border. I'm a vet and I'm sure about this.

...At least, you can't do it in the right way, just hidden.

But, you don't need to bring a turkey to Mexico, you could buy one at any store like Wall Mart, Costco, Sam's, Soriana, Chedraui, Gigante, Aurrera, Superama or any other. They sell anything you can find in USA, specially those in the richiest areas (at any major mexican city). It is easier to find a good turkey in Costco, Sam's, Superama, Wall Mart or Soriana.

Answer 4

I don't see why not... they usually don't get too upset with food stuffs going INTO Mexico..

Answer 5

we have took and brought back deer, beer, tequila, pork, beef, fruits & veg, women and drugs, and never had a problem ?
