The FDA's new guidelines, while voluntary, aim to reduce lead exposure in baby foods significantly, addressing a crucial health concern affecting children's development.
FDA set lead limits at 10 ppb for most foods for children under 2, but the guidelines do not address other harmful metals like cadmium.
Despite research indicating snacking products may have higher lead levels, the new limits exclude grain-based snacks like puffs, raising concerns among health experts.
Experts state that lead exposure at early stages can severely impair neurological development in children, highlighting the need for stricter regulations on baby food.
