FINDINGS & RESOURCES Healthy Babies Bright Futures (HBBF) found toxic heavy metals in 95 percent of containers tested. One in four baby foods contained all four metals assessed by our testing lab—arsenic, lead, cadmium, andmercury.
Even in the trace amounts found in food, these contaminants can alter the developing brain and erodes a child’s IQ. The impacts add up with each meal or snack a baby eats. Fresh research continues to confirm widespread exposures and troubling risks for babies, including cancer and lifelong deficits in intelligence from exposures to these common food contaminants. Despite the risks, with few exceptions there are no enforceable limits for toxic heavy metals in baby food. * We tested 168 foods consumed by babies and toddlers from a wide range of brands, including Gerber, Earth's Best, Beech-Nut, and popular store brands. One in four contained all four toxic chemicals included in our study. * We found notably high levels of heavy metals in some containers. Four of seven infant rice cereals tested contained inorganic arsenic (the toxic form of arsenic) in excess of FDA’s proposed action level of 100 parts per billion (ppb). Eighty-three percent of baby foods tested had more lead than the 1-ppb limit endorsed by public health advocates, and one of every five foods tested had over 10 times thatamount.
* 88 percent of foods tested lack any federal standards or guidance on maximum safe levels of toxic heavy metals like arsenic and lead. * Our tests are from a nationally accredited laboratory and have been released with the support of doctors, experts, and otherorganizations.
Our study also uncovered some good news and actionable items for cereal companies, the FDA and parents. * Baby food companies are paying attention. Current arsenic contamination levels in rice cereal and juice are 37 and 63 percent lower, respectively, than amounts measured a decade ago because of companies’ success in reducing metals levels in their food ingredients to comply with draft FDA guidance. They have shifted growing and processing methods, switched plant varieties, changed irrigation practices, and sourced from cleaner fields. * But because levels are still too high, more action is needed. Children under 2 years of age lose over 11 million IQ points from exposures to heavy metals in food, according to an analysis commissioned by HBBF and conducted by Abt Associates. And just 15 higher risk foods account for over half of that risk, including rice-based foods, juice, and sweet potatoes.Snacks –
particularly rice-based snacks like puffs – are one of five baby food categories that contain higher levels of toxic chemicals. Learn more about all five categories and safer choices in the Tip Sheet forParents
.
* Parents can take simple actions that make a difference: 5 safer alternatives to higher-risk baby foods have 80 percent less toxic metal residue, on average. * A newly announced Baby Food Council comprised of leading baby food companies and supported by non-profit organizations including the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and HBBF seeks to “reduce heavy metals in the companies’ products to as low as reasonably achievable using best-in-class management practices.” The government, companies and parents can all act — and are, in many cases, already acting — to measurably lower levels in food and to lessen exposures for babies.

“Arsenic, lead and other heavy metals are known causes of neurodevelopmental harm. Low level exposures add up, and exposures in early life are especially dangerous. The cumulative impact of exposures is what makes this a significant concern that demandsaction.”
—Dr. Philip Landrigan, pediatrician and Director of the Program in Global Public Health and the Common Good in the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society at Boston College “Current arsenic contamination levels in rice cereal and juice are 36% and 75% less, respectively, than the amounts measured a decade ago. When FDA acts, companies respond. We need the FDA to use their authority more effectively, and much more quickly, to reduce toxic heavy metals in baby foods.” —Jane Houlihan, study author and HBBF Research Director “Parents can protect their babies today by choosing nutritious and affordable options to the most contaminated foods. And, to protect the babies of tomorrow the food companies and the FDA need to step up anddo more.”
—Dr. Philip Landrigan, pediatrician and Director of the Program in Global Public Health and the Common Good in the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society at Boston College "No amount of these contaminants is considered safe, but less is better. HBBF has given parents five simple steps to take, making it easy to reduce children's exposures to dietary sources of heavy metals until the FDA steps up to set meaningful safety standards." —Charlotte Brody, RN, HBBF National DirectorBLOG
