Senator calls for FDA to ensure baby food safety
NEW YORK — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the Food and Drug Administration Sunday to examine a report that found dozens of baby food products contaminated with lead and other metals.
A study by Healthy Babies Bright Futures found the presence of heavy metals in 95 percent of the 168 baby foods that were tested.
The study found 95 percent of the food tested contained lead, arsenic, mercury or cadmium and one in four that were tested contained all four metals.
