TSA reminds European World Cup fans: Ranch dressing is a liquid, cannot go in carry-on luggage

As international visitors flock to the United States for the World Cup, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a friendly reminder about a popular American condiment: ranch dressing. For many tourists experiencing American culture for the first time, ranch has become a surprising favorite, leading the TSA to clarify carry-on regulations.

The agency took to social media to remind travelers, "If you fall in love with ranch dressing, remember to keep it in your checked baggage." Ranch, a creamy blend of dairy, mayonnaise, herbs, and spices, has a liquid consistency. This classification means it is subject to the TSA's rules regarding liquids in carry-on luggage.

"Who knew dip-lomacy could be achieved through addressing the obvious: Ranch is the king of condiments,” the TSA posted on Instagram. They further advised travelers that if they are flying within the U.S., sauces in carry-on bags must be 3.4 ounces or less. Larger containers must be placed in checked bags. The TSA also humorously noted that travelers do not need to consume their ranch dressing before passing through security.
