Can I transport canned food in hand luggage in Europe?
I love canned food, specially tuna and sardines and I like to bring them from wherever I go (if the country has good conserves). It's a very nice "recuerdo" and experience (while it lasts). Can I bring these in hand luggage? Often these come in oil, olive oil, water or tomato sauce therefore my question. Anyone has experience with these?
Best Answer
Liquids and paste-like substances are prohibited, meaning that anything moist or canned in oil, brine, fruit juice, syrup, water or any other liquid will be prohibited too.
