Baby Food and Infant Formula Safety and Transparency Act requires testing for toxic heavy metals and disclosure of results.
The Baby Food and Infant Formula Safety and Transparency Act mandates that manufacturers test baby food and infant formula for toxic heavy metals, including arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Manufacturers must disclose test results on their websites and include QR codes on product labels for easy access to this information. The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, in collaboration with the Department of Health, will establish limits for these metals and enforce compliance. Consumers can report violations through the department's system.
