Heavy Metals in Baby Food

Recently, there has been a lot of media and news attention towards the heavy metals found in baby food after a consumer report was released in 2021.

According to the report, baby food tested in a recent study contained lead, arsenic, mercury, or cadmium. This is not a new finding, though. We have been hearing about heavy metals in food for the past 15 years! Here at PAK Pediatrics, we’d like to offer guidance and explain what this means for our kids, what is being done with this, and what we, as parents, can do to make sure our children stay healthy and safe!
