Question

Can I take Kedushah produce with me on the plane?

Answer

Rabbi Moshe Bloom

You are not supposed to take kedushat shevi'it produce outside the Land of Israel.

What about an individual traveler taking food for the way on a flight abroad?

We do not want kedushat shevi'it produce to reach non-Jews, AND Bi'ur must be performed in Israel.

Thus: Travelers may take kedushat shevi'it produce with them for personal consumption.

Of course, avoid taking dried dates or other foods right before their bi'ur time.
