What foods does TSA allow travelers to bring in carry-on luggage for flights?

The revelation comes after Chloe Gray, a passenger on a flight from New Jersey to California, was stopped by TSA earlier this month for using a whole rotisserie chicken as her carry-on luggage.

Gray said she was able to fly after convincing a TSA officer that it was her "designer bag."

Most outside solid foods are permitted on flights, while liquid-based foods are typically limited to checked luggage.

Foods that are not permitted include yogurt, peanut butter, jams and jellies, and soups.

Syrups and gravies are also considered liquid-based foods by the TSA.

Breast milk, formula and baby food are permitted as carry-on items when flying, but they must be declared and could be subject to additional screening, according to the agency.

Some countries could restrict fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy products.

"TSA officers may instruct travelers to separate items from carry-on bags such as foods, powders, and any materials that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine," the website states.

"Travelers are encouraged to organize their carry-on bags and keep them uncluttered to ease the screening process and keep the lines moving."

Final decisions on what is permitted on flights is at the discretion of TSA officers.
