Travelers can pack solid foods like pizza, cake and chocolate in carry-on or checked luggage as TSA outlines rules for liquids, live lobsters, and fresh produce from Hawaii and territories.


Pizza, chocolate and donuts among the foods you can bring on flights, says the TSA

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a reminder to flyers about the foods they can and cannot bring on board planes.

"Donuts are g2g[good to go] in carry-on or checked bags, no matter what toppings you choose," the post said. 

"How many you decide to bring is up to you."

Sixty different food items are listed in terms of the items travelers may pack in their carry-on bag or checked luggage, with some restrictions on particular items. 

"Solid food items (not liquids or gels) can be transported in either your carry-on or checked bags," reads the TSA website.

Even live lobsters can be packed - as long as they're in a clear, plastic and spill-proof container.

Tamales are allowed with no restrictions listed. 

Coffee, creamy cheese, canned foods, gravy, ice cream and hummus are allowed to be carried on if the items weigh less than 3.4 ounces.
