This is soft cheese CREAM. It is NOT allowed in hand luggage. It is produced by passing soft cheese through a food processor, it counts as a liquid and has to be checked in. They took it away from me the last time I was departing TLS (and explained why I could keep the other cheeses).


This is cassoulet for the microwave in plastic packaging. I took ready-to-eat food in such packaging through French security many times (even stuff like couscous which includes liquid sauce).


This is cassoulet in a can. It can NOT be taken in hand luggage, because there is a limit on the size of canned foods you can take with you (I think they said it was 250ml). I doubt they'll make an exception for tinned sausages made from wild animals who met a premature death.

I hope this information will help avoid disappointments at security when departing TLS
