Can you take canned food on international flights?

Generally speaking, canned foods are allowed. However, the TSA recommends keeping them in your checked bag, as some canned foods may be subject to additional screening because of how they look on the X-ray machine or because they don't meet the 3-1-1 rules for liquids, gels and aerosols.
