Which foods count as liquids at Copenhagen Airport security?

Spreads count, solid food does not.

Short answer

At Copenhagen Airport soft and spreadable foods count as liquids and must follow the 100 ml rule. That includes jam, Nutella, liver pate, butter, cream cheese, smoothies, soup, rice porridge and canned or jarred food with liquid, such as tuna in oil. Solid foods like bread, sausage, hard cheese, fruit and crackers are not liquids and can stay in your hand luggage. Liquid food goes in the clear 1 litre bag in containers of 100 ml at most.
