"baby formula and food,"

The idea of that rule is that infants won't suffer from starvation while in flight. There is a doctor's letter attesting to the fact that they are needed for the infant.

Of course any TSA agent/supervisor can still be an idiot.

======================
What is an Infant Formula?

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) defines infant formula as "a food which purports to be or is represented for special dietary use solely as a food for infants by reason of its simulation of human milk or its suitability as a complete or partial substitute for human milk" (FFDCA 201(z)). FDA regulations define infants as persons not more than 12 months old (Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR 105.3(e)).
