Travel 6 Pack Lunch Bag

If you are planning to take your 6 Pack Bag meal management system through the airport, you need to be aware of TSA’s regulations for food. Nothing is worse than prepping your food for a trip, getting to the airport, and then watching TSA throw some of it away because it does not meet their guidelines.

3-1-1 Rule and Liquids

Unless you have avoided flying since 2001, you are likely aware of the that states you have to pack liquids (like shampoo) in a clear, plastic zip lock to go through security. The liquids have to be 3.4 ounces or less as well. Unfortunately, TSA applies these rules to food that they consider to be liquid.

The following items are listed as a liquid/gel on :

- Nut butter (squeeze packs included)
- Jam/jelly
- Yogurt
- Oil and vinegar
- Creamy cheese

Items that are not specifically identified as liquid or gel on the TSA website, but fit the same description include:

- Pudding/ Jell-O
- Hummus
- Salad dressing
- Fruit cups with syrup
- Apple sauce

Gel Packs & Tips to Keep Your Food Cold

The good news is TSA will allow you to go through security with an icepack, as long as the icepack is frozen solid during screening. The, “If frozen liquid items are partially melted, slushy, or have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they must meet 3-1-1 liquids requirements.”
