Though a lot has changed since 2009 (RIP, Lost and Celebrity Family Feud), the strict list of food items that can and cant be brought through security at airports has stayed pretty much the same. You can put on your best French accent, but your fresh-baked Brie is never going to make it past the TSA, which recently updated the list of food items that arent allowed on flights.

When that mid-flight hunger hits, you'll be munching on a measly bag of pretzels, dreaming of the items below you had to leave behind, as you flip through that SkyMall magazine. Sure, you can get away with cakes, pies , apples, bananas, oranges and sandwiches, but forget trying to get through with these items:

Wine, liquor and beer

Creamy dips and spreads (sorry, guac lovers)

Gravy

Jam

Jellies

Salad dressings

Salsa

Sauces

Oils and vinegars

Soup

Yogurt

In general, the TSA allows solid foods to be carried on, or stowed in your checked bag, but liquid or gel food items larger than 3.4 ounces are allowed only in checked bags. Not sure if your snack makes the cut? The TSA has an app for that.
