Can I pack food in checked luggage?

Hi everyone
I was wondering if I can put granola bars and cans of peanuts in my luggage, I will not be carrying it on board with me, it will be in my checked luggage, but I didn't know if this was allowed or not?

Yes you can.
We did it in Feb. and had no problems (other than some crushed crackers).

Yes you can pack food in your checked luggage.

To avoid food getting crushed, we use a shoe box. Pack it in there and then put the box in the luggage. Works pretty well for us.

Food and drink can be packed in checked luggage.

We do this every trip - cereal bars, granola bars, fruit snacks, tea bags, hot chocolate, pop tarts, candy - I even pack stuff in my carry on to eat in case we get stuck somewhere waiting while travelling and I don't want to pay for a meal at the airport, plus for hungry tummies on the plane if we're past mealtime while flying. Never had a problem!
