Baby Food Safety: Mandatory Limits on Toxic Heavy Metals.
This law requires the federal government to establish strict limits for toxic heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, in food intended for infants and toddlers (under 2 years old). The goal is to ensure these products are safer and contain the lowest possible levels of contaminants, directly protecting the health of young children. Food exceeding these limits will be classified as unsafe, granting the government mandatory recall authority.
Key points
Establishes federal limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury in food for children under two years old to enhance public health protection.
Infant and toddler food exceeding the new limits will be deemed adulterated (unsafe), making it easier to remove from store shelves.
The federal government must finalize limits for most metals by mid-2027, with mercury limits finalized by late 2030.
