Details on the types of baby food involved in toxic contamination
According to a new U.S. Congressional report, some of America's biggest manufacturers of baby food have not been adequately testing and removing products with dangerous levels of heavy metals.
HBBF tested 168 popular baby foods in America, from brands like Gerber, Earth's Best, Beech-Nut, and more–here's a breakdown of the results:
- Heavy metal contamination was highest in products containing rice, juice, and sweet potato.
- 88 percent of foods tested "lack any federal standards or guidance on maximum safe levels of toxic heavy metals like arsenic and lead.”
- 60 percent of the products labeled "BPA Free" tested positive for BPA.
- Baby food labeled "certified organic" had higher levels of arsenic than conventional.
The heavy metals tested in these studies–specifically cadmium, lead, mercury, and inorganic arsenic–are harmful in any amount.
