Cleaner, safer airport screening for breast milk and baby formula

Also known as: Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act

Key Points

  • Airport security must handle breast milk, baby formula, infant water, and juice in a clean way during extra screening.
  • New guidance is set within 90 days and updated over time with help from national maternal health groups.
  • Clean testing methods are required when liquids need extra checks, including ice packs and cooling gear.
  • These rules cover both federal screeners and private companies that run airport checkpoints.
  • An independent watchdog reviews compliance within a year and reports on screening tools and how often items are blocked.
