A YouTube video of raw chicken riding a luggage belt left people shocked and disgusted.
The footage shows its chunk on the conveyer belt making its way towards the passengers.
Transportation Security Administration said that such food items should be properly packed to avoid such incidents.
“Don’t wing your travel packing,” they wrote on Instagram. “In order to keep from ruffling any feathers meat should be properly packaged. Ice or dry ice is permitted to keep the flock chilled.
“If you are pecking around the internet for travel tidbits, nest time reach out to our hens and roosters at #AskTSA. They’ll take your raw travel questions and cook out an egg-cellent answer.”
Social media users were clearly unhappy over what they saw in the video.
TSA’s policies on carrying meat, seafood on flights:
It reads: “Meat, seafood and other non-liquid food items are permitted in both carry-on and checked bags. If the food is packed with ice or ice packs in a cooler or other container, the ice or ice packs must be completely frozen when brought through screening.
“If the ice or ice packs are partially melted and have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they will not be permitted. You also can pack frozen perishables in your carry-on or checked bags in dry ice.”
