UK airport security changes mean that hummus and these other foods are off the menu

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The price of food at airports is skyrocketing, with retailers charging up to 48 per cent more for snacks and beverages at airports and train stations than on the high street, according to fresh research by The Mirror.

Many airlines, including British Airways, which scrapped its complimentary onboard dining on short-haul routes in favour of a paid menu, also charge passengers for meals during flights.As a result, it's hardly surprising that an increasing number of travellers are bringing their own snacks to the airport.

However, certain common food items could lead to you being stopped and searched at security, and even losing your snacks. While some airports across the UK are introducing changes, liquid rules remain in place at many flight hubs both domestically and internationally, reports the Express.
