The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), industry,
policymakers, and consumers share a common goal of ensuring that
the foods and beverages Americans eat and drink are safe, and the
law has long prohibited the adulteration of a food that contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may
render it injurious to health. As science and technology
advance, so too does our collective understanding of what that
famous statutory phrase from the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
should mean. Accordingly, FDA s mission in overseeing the
evaluation of the scientific data, possibly through workshops, scientific meetings, and collaboration with federal partners; (2)
proposing action levels - which are the levels of contamination at which foods may be regarded as injurious to human health; (3)
consulting with stakeholders to assess the feasibility of its targets and best practices to achieve them; and (4)
finalizing action levels for each toxic element. All the while, FDA will engage in ongoing monitoring and research to assess progress and amass additional scientific data related to each toxic element. It also plans to complete and publish FDA’s sampling assignment for baby foods. Finally, during the three phases and biennially thereafter, FDA will publish Total Diet Study results and exposure assessments to toxic elements for children.

Baby food production companies argued against transferring multiple complaints against one or all of the defendants to the Eastern District of New York in a response to some plaintiff’s motion to transfer various allegations against the companies alleging that they mislabeled their products by not alerting consumers to the presence of heavy metals, which are found in the environment and in common fruits and vegetables.
The response, which was filed on Tuesday, responds to the first motion filed in the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation matter to address consolidating the many complaints filed this year against baby food companies following a House Subcommittee Report which claimed that the levels of heavy metals in baby foods are unsafe for children. There are currently about 57 related cases being heard in 14 different courts.
