Hi,
I don't think so but don't get them pressed/juiced before !!
In that case it's a fluid = forbidden!
Maybe you have to eat some to proove there's no semtex in it!
I had once to taste the baby-milk at Cuba to proove it was just milk !!
But if you can put them in your checked in luggage instead of your hand luggage
just in case!

Taking food out of the UK can be a bit serious. I would not do it. Why not buy cheap oranges in Brussels???

Sevilla oranges between LHR and BRU ? Well that's original

As a crew member at UK security forget about mini nail scissors, corkscrew, any "liquid" food (yoghourt, mini jam pot...) so I dont' think oranges would be accepted, moreover as a pax. To tell you, even Captain's 5 ml Sofrasolone spray was taken by stupid security agent.

Why don't you put your oranges in a checked in luggage ?

Because the luggage scanner will go berserk and recognize these oranges as mini nuclear devices

Anouncement:
"Could Mr. Michael Newport report to security please ?"
What follows is a 6 month detention under UK's anti terror laws, daily deep cavity searches and a lifelong disgust for oranges.

Don't forget to publish a full report on Luchtzak,if there is any right to publish some
under terrorist laws !

I guess the Sevilla Oranges Union will lobby for you !!!

....well the oranges were no problem in terminal 1 at lhr

neither were the tea bags / coffee beans / chocolate chip cookies

I left my liquids in a normal plastic bag (not clear) and it made no difference

I bought some jam in Harrods (3 for 2) and I said I didn't need a bag.....but he said but they are liquids so he put them in a clear bag......then he put them in a Harrods bag to cover up the clear bag....WTF

And I'm glad I won't have to bring you oranges in jail.
