from this 30 A new restriction for powdered products on international flights to the United States applied by the TSA comes into force in June – Transportation Security Administration for the transport of these products in carry-on baggage.
If you are going to travel to the United States from Ecuador or any country in the world, this country has applied a new restriction for the transport of powder products such as makeup, milk powder, café, sugar, flour, proteins and others will not be able to enter the plane in hand luggage if they exceed the 12 ounces or 350 ml, which is equivalent to the size of a beverage can.
Powder-like substances greater than 12 oz. / 350 mL must be placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening. They may require additional screening and containers may need to be opened. For your convenience, we encourage you to place non-essential powders greater than 12 oz. in checked bags.
If your powder products, exceed that weight, they must be sent inside the suitcase checked in the warehouse and the regulations also specify, that according to each case, security agents will be able to open the products and carry out additional checks.
This does not mean that you cannot, for example, take chocolate powder for your trip in a container higher than those 350 ml, you just won't be able to do it in your carry-on bag. To avoid problems with the controls that will be carried out at all airports in the world on flights with the final destination of the United States, it is advisable to send these products in checked baggage.
For example, Tame has already released its official statement on this subject., like the rest of the airlines that operate direct flights from Ecuador to the United States:

The controls will take place at the airports where your flight has a final destination in the United States and is direct.. If your flight is with connection, This control will be carried out at the intermediate airport where the flight originates with the final destination of the United States.. For instance, if you fly direct from Guayaquil a Fort Lauderdale, control will be in Guayaquil, but if your flight is with a stopover in Panama, the control will be in this airport.
This is a new control and restriction that joins others that the TSA has implemented, as well as the control that is carried out random to passengers in some airports as it happens in Quito and Guayaquil. It is always advisable to check the TSA website to be clear about the restrictions on the transport of liquids, gels, aerosol sprays, electronic equipment and others: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all.
Of all powdered products with restriction, are exempt from this measure powdered milk for babies, medicines and cremated human remains.
I recommend consulting directly with the airline if you have questions about a specific product, but if it is not imperative to transport it in hand luggage, better to do it in the checked bag to avoid any problem.
