From News Nation:
“Turkey travel: Which
Thanksgiving foods can you take on a plane?”
Thanksgiving weekend travel is
famous for clogging airports. And to keep things running smoothly at security
checkpoints, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced
which holiday foods travelers are allowed to take with them on the plane. Coming
from afar won’t squelch peoples’ desire to bring their famous pumpkin pie or
classic yams and marshmallows along for the ride to share with family and friends,
so TSA has made it simple with some “food for thought.” “If it’s a solid
item, then it can go through a checkpoint,” TSA said in a press release.
“However, if you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it or pour it, and
it’s larger than 3.4 ounces, then it should go in a checked bag.”
These carry-on Thanksgiving
foods are good to go: Baked goods: Yes, that includes pumpkin pie; Meat:
Frozen, cooked or otherwise, all meat is allowed, but please remember to
package correctly. Stuffing in all forms Casseroles: Midwesterners, rejoice! Mac
‘n Cheese: Fully cooked or not; Fresh vegetables; Fresh fruit; Candy: But do
keep this in your carry-on, as otherwise you may be asked to share; Spices
Food items allowed to be taken
through security should still be placed in a plastic bag to make TSA screeners’
jobs easier, especially since food often needs additional security screening.
Thanksgiving foods that need
to be placed in checked baggage: Cranberry sauce; Gravy; Wine,
champagne, sparking apple cider; Canned fruit or vegetables; Preserves,
jams and jellies; Maple syrup; Anything else that has liquid or
could be considered “spreadable”
^ This is helpful to those that want
to travel and bring food this Thanksgiving. ^
