Just Found Out Starkist And Bumble Bee Tuna Is Ok...

[Motorboater]

I'm going away this Thursday for 3 nights and wanted to bring something for me to eat at lunch time or if stuck on the airplane, so I bought the Lemon Pepper of both Starkist in the pop off lid and Bumble Bee pouch of tuna, they are both gluten free according to both of their web sites. Might be a good throw in your purse for anyone traveling..........Take some gluten free crackers and lunch time is covered.

TSA will probably not allow the can through security - no liquids/gels/creams/etc can go through security - even in sealed and unopened containers and even with a medical letter! The pouches SHOULD pose no problem, but if the TSA agent doesn't like it they will make you throw it away or get out of line and go back to check it (impossible).

You can also mail it home if that happens.

For on-the-plane food, you are pretty much limited to dry foods like chips, gluten-free crackers, candy, meat slices in a ziploc bag (no liquid), popcorn, etc.

They don't even allow you to take your own water or coffee (unless you have an infant).

You can read all the rules on your airlines webpage or at www.tsa.gov

GOOD LUCK!! (Flying is a real hassle these days for more reasons than the food thing)!

Some years ago when I was pregnant and prior to all the extra security, I took a tuna sandwich onto the plane with me, fearing that I wouldn't get enough to eat or wouldn't like the food. I didn't know of my food allergies back in those days.

When I had made the sandwich, I had forgotten how stinky tuna can be. I sure got a lot of dirty looks as I was eating it. So I decided it wasn't a good food to eat in close quarters, like a plane.
