1) food is allowed through the checkpoint as long as it's not a liquid or gel. I'm sure screeners can clearly see pre-packaged food, which makes me feel so much safer given they apparently can't see 80%+ of the actual guns and bombs that auditors casually bring through the checkpoint during performance tests.

2) yes, we have plenty of threads teaching fellow FTers how to sneak items past the checkpoint that are not germane to security. I will be happy to share any of my techniques for deceiving screeners upon request

In this case, I think the OP is perfectly fine sticking the packages of non-liquid/gel items into her bag without any further issue.

To the OP: don't order from Nutrisystem directly, instead go to qvc.com and order from them. Much cheaper option and you can order sampler packages at minimal cost to make sure you actually like the food before you commit to anything long term.
