In an unusual move, London City airport is offering travellers the chance to swap any jars of Marmite exceeding the permitted 100ml size for a travel-friendly 70g miniature. The airport said Marmite is the most regularly seized branded food product at its security gates, and in the top 10 overall for confiscated items. The most commonly confiscated item is snow globes, followed by jams and spreads and toiletries. “With 4.5 million passengers travelling through our doors each year, we see all kinds of weird and wonderful restricted items, including Marmite,” said Melanie Burnley, director of customer experience at London City airport. They are being donated by London City airport to local charity Community Food Enterprise, for distribution to smaller charities in local communities.
