Absolute, and another funny anecdote about it. I was coming back from Asia, and is the custom, was given way too many gifts of things to eat on my way out and ended up with a box of grapes in my carry-on. Arrived in L.A. and the CBP officers asked me if I had any food, fruits veggies etc. I brought out the grapes and they started questioning me. I offered to toss 'em if that made it easier. They thought that was acceptable and right as they were handing them back to me to throw away the officer looked down and saw "product of California" on the box. We all had a good laugh and I ate the rest of the grapes while waiting for my connection back home.
