Travelers requiring special accommodations or concerned about the security screening process at the airport may request assistance by contacting TSA Cares online at or by phone at (855) 787-2227 or federal relay 711. Please see traveling with children for more information.
If these items are partially frozen or slushy, they are subject to the same screening as described above. Ice packs, freezer packs, frozen gel packs and other accessories required to cool formula, breast milk, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food (to include puree pouches) – regardless of the presence of breast milk – are also allowed in carry-ons, along with liquid-filled teethers.
Additional steps will be taken to clear the liquid and you or the traveling guardian will undergo additional screening procedures, to include Advanced Imaging Technology screening and additional/enhanced screening of other carry-on property. However, if you do not want the formula, breast milk, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food (to include puree pouches) to be X-rayed or opened, please inform the TSA officer. TSA X-ray machines do not adversely affect food or medicines. Screening will never include placing anything into the medically necessary liquid. Make sure your vitamins are in a 3.4-ounce or smaller container and include the container in a single quart-sized clear plastic resealable bag along with any other liquids. Liquids in plastic bags or pouches may not be able to be screened by Bottle Liquid Scanners, and you may be asked to open them (if feasible) for alternate screening such as Explosive Trace Detection and Vapor Analysis for the presence of liquid explosives. If your liquid vitamins dont have a prescription label on them, youll need to follow the 3-1-1 rule when packing them. TSA officers may need to test the liquids for explosives or concealed prohibited items.Īlthough not required, to expedite the screening process, it is recommended that formula and breast milk be transported in clear, translucent bottles and not plastic bags or pouches. Remove these items from your carry-on bag to be screened separately from your other belongings.
Inform the TSA officer at the beginning of the screening process that you are carrying formula, breast milk, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food (to include puree pouches) in excess of 3.4 ounces. Your child or infant does not need to be present or traveling with you to bring breast milk, formula and/or related supplies. This also applies to breast milk and formula cooling accessories, such as ice packs, freezer packs, and gel packs (regardless of presence of breast milk). Formula, breast milk, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food (to include puree pouches) are considered medically necessary liquids. Carry On Bags: Yes (Special Instructions)įormula, breast milk, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food (to include puree pouches) in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters are allowed in carry-on baggage and do not need to fit within a quart-sized bag.
