flight attendant TAFB-Non Taxable income

My daughter is a Delta flight attendant.  Her final 2019 paystub shows entries for TAFB-Non Taxable that appear to be included in her total YTD taxable Fed income.  The total of the TAFB-Non Taxable also shows on her W-2, box 12c, L—Substantiated employee business expense reimbursements

(nontaxable).  I believe these are effectively for work related meal expenses (time away from base) not exceeding M&IE rates.  Since they don’t appear to be pre-tax, are these deductible somewhere (other than using itemized sch A), or excluded with TurboTax premium someway?
