STILL NOT FIXED.

FDA proposes new levels for lead in baby food, but critics say more action is needed

The director of food policy for Consumers Reports, Brian Ronholm, also expressed concerns. In 2018, Consumer Reports analyzed 50 baby foods and found “concerning” levels of lead and other heavy metals. In fact, “15 of them would pose a risk to a child who ate one serving or less per day,” according to Consumer Reports.

Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury all are poisons. They delay brain development, make your baby sick, an accumulation turns to cancers, autism, and death. Wana Bana Cinnamon Babyfood, the reported dates of illness onset for the impacted children range from Oct. 17 through Nov. 1. So far, illnesses have been reported in Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, and North Carolina. Why there still aren’t limits on lead in baby food https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/still-arent-limits-lead-baby-food-rcna129013. Congress is too busy giving money to Ukraine, Iran, and Illegals to regulate poisons in babies and children's food, or yours. Efforts to set guidelines to limit lead exposure in children go as far back as the 1980s, when the government began work to reduce children’s exposure to lead from paint and gasoline as well as from food packaging, like lead-soldered cans, said Dr. Leonardo Trasande, director of environmental pediatrics at NYU Langone Health.

"Caravanos said that even if adults occasionally are exposed to lead in a ground spice, they are at low risk for health problems. “We’re not going to be picking up any of the lead, and our brains are fully formed,” Caravanos said." - NY professor of health sciences

"Parents of young children can still bake or cook with cinnamon, but young children should eat a varied diet to minimize risk. Foods rich in calcium and iron can limit the absorption of lead, said Katarzyna Kordas, an associate professor of epidemiology and environmental health at the University of Buffalo."

Congressional reports in 2021 found that many popular food products made for babies and toddlers contain significant levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. Healthy Babies Bright Futures, a children’s health advocacy group, tested more than 150 baby and toddler foods and found that 95 percent had detectable levels of heavy metals, according to a report published in 2019."

Our new study finds 95 percent of tested baby foods contain toxic chemicals that lower babies’ IQ, including arsenic and lead.

I DO NOT CORRECT PUBLISHED ARTICLES BAD GRAMMAR. They have proofreaders or can use Grammarly, which is free, or upgrade to pay. I learned it before I graduated High School, in 1966. I may mishear a word now as I wear strong Hearing Aids.

It seems that we now have Deja vu problems to instigate new solutions doesn't it? Toxic shock tampons , water pollution, infections in the food from salmonella, legionaires, e coli were 'fixed' with great new REGUlLATIONs to put competitors out of business in the 1970s and 80s and now the same old problems are back.

The new solutions will be special sterilized bug protein or cell cultures or meat from a vat or a 3D printer. Maybe eating special rations of boxed cereal instead of ordinary food. Who knows what that is now.
