🥛 Yogurt

A standard supermarket yogurt pot is typically 125g to 200g, which exceeds the 100ml carry-on liquid limit. A screener will confiscate it at the checkpoint — you will not be allowed to take it through. Your options are to eat it before the security queue, pack it in checked baggage, or leave it behind.

Yogurt is classified as a gel or liquid-like substance under aviation security rules in all major regions, including the US, EU, UK, Australia, and Canada, meaning the 100ml limit applies everywhere. Some airports apply this rule more strictly than others in practice, but it is not worth gambling on — a screener can always confiscate it.

Yogurt in a sealed opaque container can be harder to identify on an X-ray than a clear liquid, so it occasionally passes through undetected. However, if your bag is selected for a manual search or if the X-ray image looks dense, the pot will be found and confiscated. It is not worth the risk of having your bag opened and delayed over a yogurt.

Pack yogurt in your checked baggage if you want to bring it from home — it is permitted there with no restrictions. If you want yogurt for a morning flight, eat it before you reach the airport or buy it airside after clearing security. Squeeze-tube yogurt portions sold for babies are often small enough to fall within the 100ml limit.
