Holy shit, that congressional report is extremely damning. Everyone should read it. It's fucking wild that congress doesn't subsequently care enough to legislate. > In January 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released its first-ever guidance for manufacturers that sets limits on the amount of lead that baby food can contain. But the FDA guidance does not require companies to adhere to the limits. > five years after a congressional report warned about the presence of dangerously high levels of lead and other heavy metals in baby food So we know it's a huge widespread problem, and we know it's dangerous, but instead of saying "dangerous baby food not allowed", we're going to let the market segment itself? Coming soon, expensive premium baby foods marketing themselves as not containing dangerous levels of heavy metals for children of upper middle class parents, and less expensive budget baby foods that show themselves to contain higher levels for the poors who can go fuck themselves I guess.
