Eat Gluten Free & Allergy Friendly Snacks Anywhere

There are a wide variety of safe foods you can pack while traveling by car, train, boat or plane. Remember to read each product label, review ingredients & use your best judgment to determine which snacks are safe for you.

Also, bring enough food to get you to your destination and for your excursions throughout your trip. For example, if you’re flying eight hours, pack two to three meals worth of snacks in case of delays and/or mistakes.

The following snack tips reflect healthy foods that can be readily eaten anywhere without a microwave, oven, stove, toaster or refrigerator. These snack tips are grouped into the three categories: no preparation, hot water preparation and cooler required.

Additional Snack Ideas

Additionally, some items can make eating snacks on-the-road a little easier. If there is room in your carry-on luggage or suitcase, consider packing the following as needed.

• Packets of dressings, condiments and/or sauces
• Re-sealable plastic baggies, toaster bags, oven sheets and/or aluminum foil
• Sterile wipes and/or napkins
• Disposable silverware, containers, cups and/or plates

Portable cold packs and a pocket knife can also come in handy. However, if you’re traveling by air, they must be checked with baggage before entering security due to worldwide airline regulations.
