Canned Food On Airplanes?

[Tree]

OK, so I never took physics...

What happens to, say, canned soup (checked in one's luggage) when it achieves high altitude on airplanes? Will it leak, explode, or contrive other nasty surprises?

Also--does anyone know what food I can pack/check for a domestic flight?

Thanks!

In a properly sealed can, it should still be fine. (I've heard that home jarred items aren't always safe, but that's not the question here...)

I have never had any problems putting canned food in my checked luggage. Blue Ice can also be put in your luggage. The last time I traveled I put blue ice in with frozen pizza and frozen cooked chicken I made at home into my checked luggage. I have a Built NY BYO lunch Gourmet Getaway which is flexable to allow it to only take up the room required for the food. Website below:

Any liquids you wish to pack need to be unopened in their orignial packaging or in leak proof containers. Tupperware and Container Store (leak proof only) containers work. The throw away Gladlock or Ziplock containers leak. I do take the additional step of putting any liquid in two ziplock bags just in case.

Have a super trip.
