erm, strange question. I'm leaving to america tommorow from england and i'll be there 2 months. I still have some N large whey powder so i thought i'd take it with me, but it's not very much so i put it in a tupperware container. Am i ok doing this? i know theres some crazy regulations and it may look like drugs or whatever. should i bother? isn't against any food importation laws or anything is it?

Yeah, I would leave it. Not worth the trouble in case it is against food importation laws.

It could be found during a search of your luggage. And just because it would look like a suspicious substance it may delay your arrival. AFAIK there is no regulations for protein powder.

It can be easily purchased anywherein the U.S. so why not just buy some here?

Yeah I'd suggest just pick some up here if anything. I wonder if you can order some whey powder and have it ship to a hotel.

It's basically just dust, so it probably keeps pretty well.
