I know you've been given the link to the US Customs and Border
Protection website. However - individual US embassies have more
detailed information tailored to particular foods of the host country.
The US Embassy in Denmark specifically mentions that rugbr=F8d is OK,
but gravad laks, leverpostej, spege or rullep=F8lse aren't OK. I have
no idea what these are, but they seem to be specific.

The US Embassy in London seems to be more general.

In general, I'd say don't bring it. At the very least check with the
US Dept of Agriculture. I would expect that cooked and canned meat
would not be prohibited.
