⚖️ Why This Rule Exists: X-Ray Density Screening & International Agricultural Biosecurity Controls

Solid foods are permitted through security screening because they do not flow or pose chemical hazard risks. On international flights, agricultural border authorities (CBP / CBSA) strictly regulate fresh produce, meats, and plant products to prevent pest and disease vectors.

Decision Threshold: Solid food is permitted in cabin; spreads/liquids must be ≤ 100 ml. Declare all agricultural items at international customs.
