The Transportation Security Administration responded to the viral trend of World Cup fans discovering ranch dressing with some instructions for safe transport.
The TSA took to social media to offer advice to fans visiting the United States for FIFA World Cup games.
“Who knew dip-lomacy could be achieved through addressing the obvious: ranch is the king of condiments. The world is slowly discovering ranch pairs perfectly with pizza, chicken wings, fries, onion rings, quesadillas, crackers, chips, vegetables, and the list just keeps growing,” the TSA wrote on Instagram.
Officials shared advice for traveling with ranch in a series of posts on Threads.

“If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event & you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here… pls pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home,” one of the posts reads.
The posts came after multiple viral videos online showed World Cup fans discovering the condiment — made from mayonnaise, buttermilk, herbs and spices — and announcing they would be bringing some back to their home countries.
The TSA stressed that any ranch containers larger than 3.4 ounces would need to be checked, thrown out or consumed at security.
“Please avoid chugging your ranch outside security the airlines will check it for you,” a Threads post reads.
Kraft Foods caught wind of the current ranch craze and announced it is working on a solution: “Kraft TSA Compliant Ranch, a travel-friendly way to bring the taste of America home.”

The Kraft kit features multiple single-use ranch packets placed into a TSA-approved quart-sized clear bag.
“Some visitors leave with souvenirs,” the company said on Instagram. “Others leave with America’s favorite dressing.”
Kraft said the ranch packs will be available soon.
