Beech-Nut and Gerber found heavy metals in baby food the menu of children and pregnant women, probably everyone knows.
As well as arsenic in certain grains, most notably rice. And what about baby food based on them? Is it really that safe? nine0003 Today, US baby food sales are about $53 billion, and by 2021, according to Zion Market Research, they will exceed $76 billion. And because children are more receptive to food than adults, Consumer Reports (CR) decided to check for the content heavy metals namely the range of baby food.
In the spring of 2018, CR experts tested 50 popular baby products: cereals, canned fruits and vegetables, packaged meals (such as turkey and rice dinner), packaged snacks (cookies, crackers, chips, waffles, rice crackers, etc.), by purchasing 3 samples of each product from retailers across the country. nine0003
B o Most of the products were from the 2 largest US baby food manufacturers, Beech-Nut and Gerber. Also purchased were Baby Mum-Mum, Earth's Best, Ella's Kitchen, Happy Baby, Parent's Choice (Walmart), Plum Organics and Sprout.
Testing has shown that some popular baby products on the US market are best avoided:
- In 68% of samples, experts found "alarming" levels of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury and/or inorganic arsenic).
nine0140 - 15 out of 50 products tested were generally dangerous to the health of a child consuming 1 serving per day or less.
- Foods based on rice and/or sweet potato contained the highest amount of heavy metals.
Of the 50 products, only 16 contained heavy metals below the safe limits.
The test results table is shown below.

Organic doesn't mean safe
Many parents will be surprised to find products labeled "organics" in a poor results table. Yes, USDA certified organic products are better than conventional products in many ways (environmental impact, pesticide levels, etc.). However, 20 out of 50 samples tested with this label still contained heavy metals. nine0003
Charlotte Wallai, food label expert at Consumer Reports, explained that organically banned arsenic and lead have been used in pesticides in the past and remain in soil today.
Therefore, even raw materials grown according to strict modern standards cannot be completely free from these substances.
How heavy metals get into food
All of them are part of the earth's crust and therefore naturally occur in the environment. However b o Most of the heavy metals in food come from soil or water contaminated during agricultural or industrial production, in particular from the use of pesticides, as well as during the extraction and processing of minerals.
Plants absorb heavy metals from the ground and water, as well as nutrients. However, the "suction" capacity of some crops is much higher than others. Thus, rice absorbs about 10 times more arsenic than other grains. nine0003
How heavy metals affect the body
Iron and zinc are also heavy metals, but in reasonable amounts they only benefit the human body. But cadmium, inorganic arsenic, lead and mercury (especially methylmercury) are toxic in any concentration and pose a particular danger to young children.
The longer you consume foods containing them, the more harm will be done to the body. Among the most serious problems are impaired cognitive development and, as a result, a decrease in IQ, behavioral problems (hyperactivity, attention deficit, autism), reproductive problems, the development of bladder, lung and skin cancer. nine0003
Steps parents can take now
According to James Dickerson, Chief Scientist at Consumer Reports, a child's consumption of foods containing heavy metals may not cause health problems right away, but it increases the risk of future problems.
To protect both children and yourself from the accumulation of heavy metals in the body, Dr. Dickerson advises to adhere to the following rules:
1. Eat less rice and products from it. nine0134 Cereals are often a baby's first solid food because they are easy to swallow. However, both the Food and Drug Administration and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend giving babies different types of cereals that do not contain large amounts of inorganic arsenic, such as oat and barley-based products.
2. Choose the right rice and cook it right. Brown rice has been shown to contain more inorganic arsenic than white rice. Prefer Basmati from California, India and Pakistan. You need to cook it in a large amount of water - from 6 to 10 parts of water to 1 part of rice. When the rice is ready, drain off the excess water. nine0003
3. Limit your consumption of packaged snacks. Many of them contain rice flour and generally do not represent any nutritional value for a growing organism.
4. Don't skimp on chocolate: cocoa powder may contain cadmium and/or lead.
What is being done at the legislative level
Today, the baby food market is not properly regulated by the state, according to Consumer Reports. Many parents are unaware of the presence of heavy metals in the foods they buy for their children because they believe that baby food is produced to stricter standards than other packaged foods. nine0003
However, this is not the case.
Although the FDA recognizes that heavy metals pose a danger to children's bodies, there are still no regulations governing food safety for children.
In 2016, the FDA proposed limiting the allowable content of inorganic arsenic in rice used in children's products to 100 ppb (parts per billion), and in 2013 to limit it in apple juice to 10 ppb (the federal standard for the concentration of arsenic in children's products). drinking water). However, no limit has yet been set. nine0003
Based on the results of the Consumer Reports study, the Food and Drug Administration has promised to issue recommendations to manufacturers by the end of 2018: metals - USA .one ) for the most vulnerable category of the population - children.
Also FDA stated that "plans to consider a wide range of strategies and actions to reduce the impact" of heavy metals on Americans' health. In particular, consumers will be informed about how to reduce the risks associated with toxic metals, and manufacturers will be encouraged (and forced) to minimize their content in their products.
