New York Opens Probe Into Toxic Metals In Baby Food By Jonathan Stempel | April 30, 2021
NEW YORK New York’s attorney general said on Thursday she has opened a probe into whether baby food contains arsenic and other toxic metals, and asked four manufacturers to provide information on whether their infant rice cereal products are safe.
In letters to Nestle’s Gerber, Beech-Nut Nutrition, Earth’s Best Organic maker Hain Celestial Group and Happy Family Organics maker Nurture, Attorney General Letitia James also said she wants to ensure the companies’ advertising complied with state consumer protection laws.
The letters follow a Feb. 4 report by a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee that said “dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals” in some popular baby foods could cause brain and other neurological damage.
