Bringing baby snacks on Sun Country Airlines

 

Short answer: Yes. You may bring baby snacks and baby food in your carry-on when traveling with an infant on Sun Country Airlines.

Airline cabin rules generally follow U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security guidelines. That means:

• Solid snacks (for example: crackers, cereal like Cheerios, cookies, puffs, dry fruit) are allowed and are treated like any other solid food in your carry-on.
• Liquid or gel-like baby foods (for example: formula, breast milk, baby food in jars or pouches, yogurt, applesauce, purees) are allowed in quantities greater than the usual 3.4 oz / 100 ml limit for carry-ons, but you must declare them to the security officer at the checkpoint for separate screening.
• Frozen items and ice packs: Frozen baby food or breast milk that is completely frozen when presented at screening is usually permitted. Ice packs and gel packs used to keep food cold are allowed, but if they are partially melted or liquid at screening they may be subject to the 3.4 oz rule or extra inspection.

What to expect at security:

• When you reach the security checkpoint, tell the TSA officer that you have baby food, formula, breast milk or juice. These items will be screened separately and may be X-rayed or tested. You may be asked to open containers or have an officer test a small sample.
• Carry the food in an easily accessible place so you can present items quickly to the officer.

Practical tips and reminders:

• Pack enough for delays: Bring extra snacks and food in case of delays or missed connections.
• Use spill-proof containers or resealable plastic bags: This helps prevent messes and makes inspection easier.
• Keep utensils handy: Small spoons, bibs, and wipes are helpful — remember utensils are allowed but sharp items like disposable knives are not.
• Label or keep items in original packaging when possible; it speeds screening and reduces questions.
• International travel: If your trip includes an international destination, check the destination country’s agricultural and customs rules before you travel — some countries restrict fresh fruits, dairy, meat or other food items on arrival.

If you want absolute confirmation about any fare-specific carry-on allowances or infant policies that might affect how many bags you can bring onboard, contact Sun Country Airlines directly before your trip.
