Pack extra packaging materials, just in case the Saran wrap hits a snag. As we discovered in when the TSA found and cleared a pound lobster in luggage , the clawed crustaceans and other frozen seafoods are allowed as carry-on or checked luggage, with proper packaging. Some airports, like those in Boston and Halifax, even sell ready-to-fly boxes of lobsters, fitting up to ten in one box and packing them with bags of frozen peas instead of ice or gel blocks. Taking a fresh-baked pie or cake onto a plane may tempt TSA agents into a weak joke about taste-testing, but pies and cakes are allowed as carry-ons, whether whole or sliced.
Apple dumplings, cupcakes, brownies, fritters, donuts filled or not , cookies, gingerbread, dry baking mixes, and even fruitcake are okay to fly in the cabin. They do count as a carry-on item, though, and you may be asked to put them underneath the seat in front of you as opposed to the overhead bin. Still not finding your answer?
In general, we recommend abiding by a version of the "Golden Rule" modified for air travel: Only bring onboard food that you yourself wouldn't mind smelling if someone else brought it onboard. Traveler editors have a lot to say when it comes to the controversial topic of what foods are socially acceptable to bring and consume on a plane. In summary? We respect your privacy.

Coffee Beans and Tea Leaves: Coffee beans, loose tea leaves, or dry tea sachets are all considered dry goods, so the same rules apply. Cooked foods of any kind, as long as there are no liquids, are safe to fly in both carry-on and checked bags. The same rules for dried goods and packaged snacks can be applied here.
Fresh Eggs: Yes, even fresh eggs are okay in both carry-on and checked bags, oddly enough. It can be a little risky to take them, though, for obvious reasons. Baby Juice and Formula: There are special guidelines for parents traveling with baby formula and juices in carry-on bags.
These items are fine in checked luggage, but if you want to bring them on the plane with you, they will need a special screening. Pizza: Feel free to take that extra large pepperoni pie with you, because the TSA is pizza friendly. Pies and Cakes: Pies and cakes are also cleared for take off as well, so holiday travelers can breathe a sigh of relief.
Protein and Energy Powder: Even though these need to be mixed with liquid to be consumed, they are still a dried good, much like a spice. Therefore, the same rules apply here.
