At SIN, you have to as it's screening at the gate. There are a few airports like that. But consider in the US, much of the offshore produce (I'm not sure about stuff grown in the US itself) is irradiated (my guess is to kill any seeds) if not also xrayed in the "crate" while looking for contraband.
I like to have some "comfort" food on the plane. And I often find the stuff they have on board (in the back) unsatisfying. So something different is always appreciated.
