Allowed. No restriction in checked baggage.
Special instructions
It's a standalone container of a spread or dip that gets treated as a liquid, not a sandwich that happens to contain one.
FAQ
- Does a peanut butter sandwich count as a liquid?
- No — the sandwich itself is solid food. It's only a standalone container of peanut butter or a similar spread, not a sandwich made with it, that's treated as a liquid.
