The Transportation Security Administration expects over 18 million people to take to the skies this week, making 2024 a contender for busiest Thanksgiving travel season on record.

That’s sure to mean plenty of Thanksgiving goodies going through airport scanners, whether they’re dishes being transported to a family gathering or leftovers being shipped home.

Most foodstuffs can be passed through a security check, the TSA says so in a press releasebut there are some items that can only be carried in a checked bag. To make holiday planning easier for everyone, the TSA released a list of which Thanksgiving foods can be brought in carry-on luggage and what must go in a checked bag.

Here’s what the TSA says about flying with Thanksgiving food.

What Thanksgiving Food Can You Bring Through TSA?

The TSA says many prepared Thanksgiving foods can be brought through a security check. This includes baked goods, whether homemade or store bought; frozen, cooked or uncooked meats, and classic sides like mac and cheese and cooked or uncooked stuffing.

Stews, including “traditional green beans and onion stalks or something more exotic” can also be brought through security, the TSA said. Condiments and sweets can be brought along. Many fresh fruits and vegetables can also go through security, including seasonal treats like yams, Brussels sprouts, beets, squash, pears, cranberries and more.

Ice packs can go through security, but they must be frozen solid and not melted when they go through screening.

Although these foods can be brought through security, they may need extra screening, the TSA said. Make sure they are in an easily accessible place in a carry-on and take them out of your bag and put them in a bin for inspection when you go through security.

What Thanksgiving Foods Are Not Allowed Through Airport Security?

Liquids and sauces should be carefully packed in checked baggage, the TSA said. This includes homemade or canned cranberry sauce, homemade or canned sauce, canned fruits or vegetables in liquid form, and jams, jams, jellies, and maple syrup.

Wine, champagne and sparkling apple cider must also be checked.

“Here’s something to keep in mind. If it’s a solid object, it can go through a checkpoint,” TSA said. “But if you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it, or pour it, and it’s larger than 3.4 ounces, it should go in a checked bag.”

The MyTSA app’s “What can I bring?” the feature allows travelers to type in an item to find out more about how it can be transported. Travelers can also contact TSA on social media or by texting AskTSA (275-872).
