Can I bring food on the plane?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can bring food on the plane. The Transportation Security Agency (TSA) allows passengers to bring food through the security checkpoint and onto the aircraft. However, there are certain considerations to keep in mind. Solid food items such as sandwiches, fruits, and snacks are generally permitted. However, liquids or gel-like foods such as yogurt, soups, and sauces must comply with the 3-1-1 rule. These items must be in containers of 3.4 ounces or less and placed in a clear, quart-sized plastic bag. Additionally, it is always advisable to check with the specific airline you are flying with as they may have additional regulations or restrictions on food items. Remember to pack your food items properly and be prepared for them to be screened by the TSA agents at the security checkpoint.
