The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a reminder to flyers about the foods they can and cannot bring on board planes.
TSA posted a “breakfast travel tip” on Monday on its X account, noting, “We don’t suggest leaving this delicious pastry behind.”
The post featured a photo of “The Simpsons” character Homer eating a donut pasted into the corner of a security checkline.
“Donuts are g2g[good to go] in carry-on or checked bags, no matter what toppings you choose,” the post said.
“How many you decide to bring is up to you.”

“Solid food items (not liquids or gels) can be transported in either your carry-on or checked bags,” reads the TSA website.
TSA advises that travelers should separate such items “that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine.”

Even live lobsters can be packed — as long as they’re in a clear, plastic and spill-proof container.
“A TSA officer will visually inspect your lobster at the checkpoint,” reads the restriction. “We recommend that you contact your airline to determine your airline’s policy on traveling with your lobster before arriving at the airport.”

“Passengers flying from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands to the U.S. mainland cannot take most fresh fruits and vegetables due to the risk of spreading invasive plant pests,” the TSA says.
