What foods can go through security?

[lynn71092]

I would like to get a couple of those huge taffy apples and maybe some marshmallows on a stick at Disney before we leave for the airport but will I be able to get them through security? I don't want to pay all that money just to have them confiscated by the TSA.

The items you have to worry about is liquids, gels, creams, pastes and aerosols. These are examples of food items that cannot go over 3.4 oz. A jar of peanut butter or nutella, yogurt, jelly, jam, homemade sauces, soup, chilli, applesauce, cheese in a can, salsa. There are probably more items that i cannot think of right now. So the items you mentioned should be good to go.

Any food can go through, as long as its not a liquid or gel. A long as it would hold its shape outside of a container, it's good. We've taken just about every snack back in our carry-ons at some point!

Basically if you spread it with a knife or it jiggles, the TSA considers it a paste/liquid.

If it's solid, you're good to go.
