In a study published last month, researchers looked at samples from 20 formulas made by well-known American and international brands and found that six out of 20 formulas tested positive for five types of toxic heavy metals, including lead and aluminium.
US lawmakers are also working on a new bill, dubbed The Baby Food Safety Act of 2024, that would direct the FDA to set maximum allowable limits for heavy metals in baby food and infant formula.
To find out that most infant formulas sold today are contaminated with not just one, but FIVE toxic metals is not just alarming, but an eye-opener to just how unnatural and damaging these highly processed infant foods are.
1 Spearheaded by Michelle Perro, MD, Zen Honeycutt and Stephanie Seneff, PhD, the study aimed to determine the presence of toxic metals in several brands of infant formula.
Even More Alarming - Infant Formula Tests Positive for Cronobacter In late May 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration sounded the alarm on another infant formula manufacturer after learning that it not only failed to comply with FDA regulations,7 but one of its products is contaminated with Cronobacter.
New Bill Aims to Limit Harmful Heavy Metals in Baby Food There is one good outcome that came from the GMOScience and Moms Across America study - the FDA is taking notice and has made encouraging statements regarding the regulation of heavy metals in infant formula.
While infant formula is designed to provide all the necessary nutrients for infant growth and development, it has been linked with infant hospitalisations and infections, childhood obesity, and lowered levels of docosahexaenoic acid, an important fatty acid related to brain development.
