Toiletries, Cosmetics, Medications and Vitamins And food. How are these items to be declared to officers?

On certain trips one is not served but snacks that are not of much


nutritional value: Is traveler allowed sandwiches, juices etc after


screening before boarding plane?Toiletries, Cosmetics, Medications and Vitamins And food. How are these items to be declared to officers?
Toiletries: in carry on luggage you are required to have no more than 1litre of liquid toiletries, sealed in a resealable baggy, with no one item in the bag to exceed 4 ounces. This would include shampoo, conditioner, anti-perspirant, anti-bacterial hand wash, hand lotions, toothpaste.





Cosmetics: again, anything liquid has to fit into the above restrictions if in your carry-on.





Meds and vitamins: in carry-on, kept in original containers, particular prescriptions.





Food: food restrictions can vary country to country. Snacks for consumption in-flight are not usually a problem, such as fruit, granola bars, etc. Liquids are a problem. Easiest thing would be to take a travel mug (not a plastic bottle) and ask the flight attendant to fill it with water in-flight, unless you want something else to drink!





You can buy food after you clear security and take it on-board your flight. I'm not sure about juice or water, it's possible but I have never found it to be worth the hassle.
