All Parents Should Read The Congressional Report About The Presence Of Heavy Metals In Baby Food

Many parents of small children are unaware that the baby food industry self-regulates and that the food they feed their children could be harming them

Wednesday, December 8, 2021 - The US government led by Congressman Corey Booker has taken a forceful role to alert parents of the potential dangers of feeding children several brands of baby foods they tested, that contain very high levels of toxic heavy metals. The report titled: "Baby Foods are Tainted with Dangerous Levels of Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury," should be a beacon for all parents to sit up and take notice. Quality Assurance and Food Safety (QASF) magazine writes in-depth about the Congressional finding of heavy metals in baby foods and the companies whose products parents, baby doctors, and baby nurses should avoid. The QASF report tells readers that the leading baby food brands "are tainted with dangerous levels of inorganic arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury." The report also says condemns the baby food industry for failing to adequately self-regulate by allowing "dangerously high internal standards for toxic heavy metal levels," and that baby food manufacturers "routinely ignore internal standards and continue to sell products with higher heavy metal levels." The most serious allegation, however, is that the baby food industry only tests the ingredients that go into their baby food and ignore testing the finished baby food product for heavy metals.

Parents of small children being fed infant formula and baby food would also be horrified to learn that the baby food industry self-regulates. The Food and Drug Administration plays no role in testing the products that our children eat during the first several years of their life. The baby food industry has been left to set limits on the quantity of heavy metal that is permissible, and those limits are unacceptably high. Parents need to know that Congressionally-sponsored investigations have found that several popular baby food brands contain high levels of dangerous heavy metals like cadmium and mercury and others. Scientists have also found baby rice cereal to contain arsenic, a poison used to control the rodent population at rice silos. All of these heavy metals and also others are thought to play a role in muting a child's neurological development, and also could be the cause of childhood autism. Some parents of children that are developmentally challenged and have fed their kids baby food have filed baby food lawsuits against several well-known baby food manufacturers for being negligent in failing to test their products and placing a warning label on their products. The companies that must explain why they have allowed toxic heavy metals to contaminate their baby food products include, "Beech-Nut Plum Organics (made by Campbell Soup), Gerber, Earth's Best Organic (made by Hain Celestial Group), Happy Family Organics and HappyBABY (made by Nurture), Sprout Organic Foods, and Parent's Choice (made by Walmart)." Baby food heavy metal lawyers usually work on a contingency that you pay nothing until and unless they achieve a favorable outcome for you. They also advise and assist in gathering the necessary evidence. Baby food heavy metal attorneys can calculate the dollar amount of lump-sum damages you should seek based on the past, present, and future values of your monetary loss and pain and suffering.
