Due to regulations between countries, fruit and vegetables are allowed to be taken onto a flight, but are prohibited from being taken off the plane at the other end. Because of this, if you choose to take fresh fruit and vegetables on your flight, make sure you don’t over pack, otherwise, you will have to dispose of them at the end of your journey.

Make sure you check the regulations for each country when packing your fodmap friendly travel snacks, to avoid any mishaps at security.
