This was our 8th trip and i specially double checked the declaration this trip and nothing at all is on the questionaire about food.
Although my children enjoy trying their snacks they still like to have water ice blocks(so do I and the locals) as they freeze really easy and are so handy on long walks(yes you can get an ice block there but not in the hotels, so leaving it is great to walk with one) and packets of chips(indo ones are okay but different and not the same as ours) I also take jelly snakes and mixed lollies, not just for us but to share with locals and hotel staff they too like to try and you make instant friends;-)
Makro sells those sour lollies etc.
Maybe try a bottle of cordial rather than poppers as it can be mixed to the bottles of water and they will have their own bottle to refill (always a great idea for those who won't drink alot of water as they need lots of fluids)
What you pack and take will get eaten if not all by your kids others and hey it makes empty bags for filling with loads of shopping ;-)
Have a great holiday, your children will be loved by the locals they just love kids.
