Candy

Solid food items like candy can be transported in both your carry-on and checked bags without special restrictions. However, for liquid or gel forms of candy, the 3-1-1 rule applies, meaning items larger than 3.4 oz (100 ml) are not permitted in carry-on bags and should be placed in checked luggage. During security screening, TSA officers may ask travelers to separate food items or other dense materials from carry-on bags to ensure clear X-ray images. Keeping your bags organized helps expedite the screening process and maintain efficient lines.
