However, there are some common food items which could see you stopped and searched at security, as well as losing your snacks altogether. Though changes are being introduced at select airports across the UK, liquid rules remain at many flight hubs both domestically and around the world. At the time of writing, the UK Government website explains: "If you do take liquids in your hand luggage containers must hold no more than 100ml.



Containers must be in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag, which holds no more than a litre and measures approximately 20cm x 20cm and contents must fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be sealed." While most people known water and drinks are included in the liquid ban, there are some foods you may not realise fall into the liquid category. One major culprit is hummus.
