Hi edrickman, this site has nothing to do with customs. I rung MAF (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry) and they said that if it contains meat and requires cooking then no you can't bring it in. But if it doesn't require any furthur cooking it should be alright, them meals in a bag only need reheating. They will need to be declared though.
