Marmite is apparently one of the most intercepted items by security officials, with jars often breaching the security restrictions for hand luggage due to their size.

But for travellers that can’t bear the idea of being parted from their favourite spread, London City Airport has helpfully teamed up with Marmite to offer passengers the chance to swap their larger jars for a travel-friendly sized 70g.

London City Airport then donates the confiscated items to a local charity called Community Food Enterprises.

Melanie Burnley, Director of Customer Experience at London City Airport, said “With 4.5 million passengers travelling through our doors each year, we see all kinds of weird and wonderful restricted items, including Marmite. "

“The Marmite swap is a temporary but popular addition which means that whether you love it or hate it, you’ll still be able to get your Marmite fix when travelling from London City Airport. For any other liquid or gel items above 100ml, it’s best to pack them safely in the hold luggage."
