Yes you can mail food but it must be packed well and not likely to leak, smell, or spoil before arrival. The USPS document C022 states:

"Mailable perishable foods that do not rapidly decay or generate

obnoxious odors in the mail may be sent at the mailer's risk."

See more information in the USPS document linked below.

Not sure if what you’re sending is restricted or prohibited? Just call 800-ASK-USPS® or your local Post Office.

It depends on the country, some prohibit it, which is why they ask if you have fruit and vegetables on you at some security checkpoints.

Can US send mail to Cuba?

Yes - the laws have changed recently to where you are allowed to send certain items from the U.S. through USPS. Of course, there are some limits as to what exactly you can send and the frequency (non-food items once a month.) I've been sending things (food, vitamins, clothing, shoes, etc...) to my family each month for the past few months and it has taken about one month for them to receive the package.

Can you send a shotgun through the mail?

just is gay You can send it to an FFL but usually not through the mail. If it is broken down and they ask you what's inside, you have to tell them & since you are not an FFL, they will not accept it. Some post offices are more sticklers on that than others but especially if it is going out of state, take it to an FFL & have them send it for you. Short answer is "No."
