The restrictions may change a little with each airline, but according to the
Transport Security Administration's rules and regulations
, there is a general guide on universal restrictions. Learn more on
what items are restricted on your carry-on luggage

TSA
š«
It is strongly noted by the TSA that 'The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. 'Therefore we suggest to do your research on what items you are planning to bring in your carry-on as certain items may only be allowed in your checked baggage, but not as your carry-on. If you're not sure if a certain item is allowed onboard (as a carry-on or checked luggage) and it is not listed on the
official TSA site
, travelers can send a message to TSA direct through social media (operational hours noted).
USDA
š
Restrictions on what perishable and non perishable food items are allowed varies by country. While preparing for your next trip, avoid the hassle of having to throw your items at the airport security by
understanding what food items will be allowed onboard or not
. Items purchased after the airport security area are usually allowed, however, depending on the items you may need to consume it, such as buying an apple as a snack or thrown away when you arrival at your next port of entry.
