Passengers can take food through airport security in the UK - but they must follow a set of strict rules.
There are restrictions on what items you can take in your hand luggage when boarding a plane in the UK. One common question that is often asked on travel forums is 'Can I take food through airport security?'.
You can carry solid foods, such as cakes, fruit, vegetables, sandwiches in your hand baggage. However, foods in sauces or with a high liquid content, such as sauces, pastes, soups and stews cannot come through security.
