Flying with Packed Bagels or English Muffins?

[DisFans4]

Has anyone tried flying with bagels, English muffins, or bread packed in your luggage? To reduced the 'squished' factor, we would place them in a plastic container with a lid. I thought at one point I head read a post somewhere about items that had been in checked luggage that ended up getting moldy shortly after arrival. Has anyone had experience with putting bread type products in checked luggage and had mold issues?

We've done that. Have no idea why stuff would mold on a couple hour flight unless it was on the edge before you packed it. Ours was fine.

We packed bagels, English muffins, and bread in our suitcases. We also didn't have any issues with mold for the whole 8 days of our trip. Nothing was squished in big containers.

We fly (from CO) with a loaf of bread, bagels, English muffins and homemade breads and muffins. Our trips have all been 8 or 9 nights and our breads have never gotten moldy in that time.

I've also packed home baked muffins in my luggage. I bought a plastic container from the dollar store and put the muffins in cushioned with paper towel. They were a bit crumbled when I opened the container but otherwise fine.

We just brought bagels in our checked luggage last week and they were fine. I froze the bagels before we left. I don't know if that helped or not, but it made me feel better!

Freezing is a great idea. My friend took frozen hot dogs, chili and spaghetti sauce with her to the the Bahamas (they rented a condo there) it was packed in a soft sided cooler, in her checked luggage, and was still frozen solid when she unpacked it.
