Question
Can canned spaghetti or other foods in cans be taken in carry-on luggage or is it best to put in checked baggage?

Answer
Dear Jennifer,

According to the information that I got, food is acceptable, except for the following: camelbaks, similar backpacks and water bottles must be empty, gel based sports supplements, gelatin, puddings, yogurts or gel-like substances.

But to avoid inconveniences during the screening process, I advise you to place those items in your checked baggage.

Best Regards,
R.Gomes
