Sprout baby food recall 2017
Everything You Need To Know
Overview
According to a study, most American babies may be eating commercial baby foods. But as much as 95% of baby foods may have dangerous heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic. (1)(2)
What’s so alarming about this is that even low concentrations of heavy metals can harm your child’s body and brain development. It can lead to IQ decline and behavioral issues. (3)(4)
Sprout Organic Baby Foods by Sprout Foods, Inc. are among the top name brands trusted by many parents to provide proper nutrition for babies.
But it’s also among the brands called out by the 2021 Congressional Reports on baby food safety for making products with exceedingly high levels of heavy metals. (5)
How did companies like Sprout Foods, Inc. react to the Congressional Reports? Was there any Sprout Baby Food recall issued afterward? Have there been any other Sprout products recalled in the past? Has the company figured in other baby food safety reports? (6)
The FDA announced in January 2023 that they’re imposing lead limits on baby food and opening a new food safety unit.

Toxic Baby Food In Congressional Reports
First Subcommittee Congressional Report: Which Baby Food Brands Are Toxic?
The Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy of the House of Representatives released a detailed baby food safety report over the high heavy metal content on products made by popular manufacturers in February 2021. (5)
Headed by Chairman Raja Krishnamoorthi, the Subcommittee asked these baby food companies to submit internal policies and test results on heavy metals: (5)
- Sprout Foods, Inc. (Sprout Organic Foods)
- Nurture, Inc. (HappyBABY, HappyTOT, and Happy Family Organics)
- Beech-Nut Nutrition Company (Beech-Nut)
- Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (Earth’s Best Organic)
- Gerber
- Campbell’s Plum Organics
- Walmart Inc. (Parent’s Choice)
Only four baby food makers sent their test results and internal policies for the first Congressional Report: (5)
- Gerber
- Beech-Nut
- Nurture
- Hain
Campbell Soup Company (Plum Organics) was only able to provide these data in the second Congressional Report. But the rest, Walmart and Sprout, still didn’t update the Subcommittee with their internal policies. (7)
According to the first Congressional Report, these baby food manufacturers have dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals that exceeded government regulations several times. (5)
To ensure their products pass, the companies reportedly increased the maximum limits in their internal policies. (5)
For example, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) set these maximum limits, in ppb (parts per billion), for bottled water: (8)
- 5 ppb lead
- 5 ppb cadmium
- 10 ppb inorganic arsenic
Instead of following the limits, these baby food makers increased their internal limits to much higher levels: (5)
- Hain (cadmium): 200 ppb
- Hain (lead): 200 ppb
- Beech-Nut (cadmium): 3,000 ppb
- Beech-Nut (lead): 5,000 ppb
Also, the maximum limit for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal is 100 ppb.
But these companies set their internal maximum limits to these: (5)(8)
- Beech-Nut (arsenic): 3,000 ppb
- Hain (arsenic): 200 ppb
- Nurture (arsenic): 115 ppb
The maximum limit for drinking water (but may also apply to food) is 2 ppb mercury, according to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines. (9)
Sprout Foods, Inc. (Sprout Organic Foods)
Does Sprout Baby Food Contain Arsenic?
According to the Subcommittee, Sprout Foods, Inc. never responded. So, these test results for Organic Quinoa Puffs Baby Cereal Snack (flavor: Apple Kale) are from the HBBF report: (2)(5)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 107 ppb
Mercury:
- Up to 1.31 ppb
Lead:
- Up to 39.3 ppb
Cadmium:
- Up to 41. 5 ppb
Other Companies In The Congressional Reports
Aside from Sprout Foods, Inc., these baby food makers were also listed on the Congressional reports: (5)(7)
Nurture, Inc. (HappyBABY, Happy Family Organics, and HappyTOTS)
Nurture is the only baby food maker that tested both its ingredients and finished products for heavy metal content. (5)
Yet the results were alarming, with many of its food products having high levels of toxic heavy metals. (5)
It turns out that Nurture doesn’t correct the products despite the test results. The company told the Subcommittee that the results aren’t used as a basis for product release. (5)
These are the toxic metal test results from Nurture, Inc.: (5)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 100 ppb – over 25% of Nurture baby products
- Up to 160 ppb – Strawberry & Beet Puffs
- Up to 160 ppb – Banana & Pumpkin Puffs
- Up to 180 ppb – Apple & Broccoli Puffs
Mercury:
- Up to 9. 8 ppb – Banana Sweet Potato
- Up to 10 ppb – Brown Rice Cereal Canister
Lead:
- Up to 10 ppb – Nurture vegetable and rice products
- Up to 560 ppb – Multi-Grain Cereal Canister
- Up to 641 ppb – Blueberry Purple Carrot
Cadmium:
- Up to 5 ppb – close to 65% of Nurture products
- Up to 36 ppb – Strawberry Raspberry
- Up to 49 ppb – Multi-Grain Cereal Canister
Campbell Soup Company (Plum Organics) Results
Plum Organics refused to submit internal standards or any test results, according to the Subcommittee’s first report. The company insists on its finished products “meeting criteria.” (5)
The following are test results for Plum Organics (flavor: Just Sweet Potato) from the HBBF report: (2)
Mercury:
- Less than 0. 142 ppb
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 3.1 ppb
Lead:
- Up to 5.6 ppb
Cadmium:
- Up to 2.3 ppb
The test results of Plum Organics were finally included in the second Congressional Report. But the Subcommittee was alarmed that these showed alarmingly higher levels of toxic metals compared with the HBBF data: (7)
- Arsenic: Over 200 ppb arsenic – in 100% of Plum’s Super Puff rice-based products
- Lead: Over 5 ppb lead – in 54.5% of Plum Organics products
- Cadmium: Over 5 ppb cadmium – in 38.3% of Plum Organics products
Gerber Products Company
Gerber told the Subcommittee that it only conducts heavy metal testing in raw materials. (5)
Mercury:
- No mercury test.
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 90 ppb – ingredient: rice flour
Lead:
- Up to 48 ppb – ingredient: sweet potatoes
Cadmium:
- Over 5 ppb in carrots – in 75% of raw ingredients
- Up to 87 ppb – ingredient: carrot batches
- No test for cadmium in other raw materials
Hain Celestial Group, Inc.
(Earth’s Best Organic)Hain told the Subcommittee Report that it only makes “theoretical calculations” based on the ingredients’ results to estimate the heavy metal content in their finished products. (5)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 309 ppb – ingredients
- Up to 129 ppb – finished products
Mercury:
- No mercury test.
Lead:
- Up to 352 ppb – raw materials

Walmart didn’t submit anything to the Subcommittee. These results are from the HBBF report: (2)(5)
Inorganic Arsenic:
- Up to 108 ppb – Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks
- Up to 56.1 ppb – Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack
Mercury:
- Up to 2. 05 ppb – Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks
- Up to 0.941 ppb – Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack
Lead:
- Up to 26.9 ppb – Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks
- Up to 5.2 ppb – Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack
Cadmium:
- Up to 26.1 ppb – Little Hearts Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack
- Up to 2.4 ppb – version: Organic Strawberry Rice Rusks
Beech-Nut Nutrition Company (Beech-Nut)
Beech-Nut submitted test results and declared that everything passed internal standards. But the internal maximum limits used are much higher than government regulations: (5)
Mercury:
- No mercury test.
Inorganic Arsenic:
- More than 300 ppb (in additives or ingredients used in different products)
- Up to 913. 4 ppb (raw materials)
Lead:
- Up to 886.9 ppb (raw materials)
Cadmium:
- Up to 344.55 ppb (raw materials)
Second Congressional Report
The Subcommittee’s new report in September 2021 shows that the companies still produce baby foods with dangerous levels of inorganic arsenic and other heavy metals. (5)(7)
None of the baby food companies issued any food safety warning nor recalled their products with toxic metal content. (7)
Is There A Lawsuit Against Sprout Baby Food?
Sprout Foods, Inc. faces a class suit in the state of California, USA, for “negligent, reckless, and/or intentional practice of misrepresenting and failing to fully disclose the presence of dangerous substances in its baby foods.” (10)
The class suit cites the Congressional Report as the basis, quoting the Subcommittee’s statement about commercial baby foods having significant levels of toxic heavy metals. (10)
The company also faces another lawsuit alongside Beech-Nut Nutrition Company, Campbell Soup Company, Gerber Products Company, Hain Celestial Group, Nurture, Inc, and Walmart filed in the District of Kansas, USA. (11)
The Kansas class suit argued: (11)
“The greed of executives at baby food companies has caused them to engage long-running, ongoing schemes to defraud involving premium baby food.
Several companies have promised and reassured parents that their baby food products are pure, natural, safe, and healthy; in reality, these products contain heavy metals that are not pure, unnatural, unsafe, and pose a major risk to babies and infants.”
Sprout Foods, Inc. also faces a class-action lawsuit in New Jersey, USA, for “mislabeling” its baby foods as “organic” and “healthy” despite containing unsafe toxic metal levels. (12)
In response, the company asked the judge to dismiss this class suit, pointing to the FDA as the regulatory authority over the issue of acceptable heavy metal levels: (12)
“What levels of heavy metals in baby foods are safe and acceptable, and whether it is misleading for foods containing certain levels of heavy metals to make true labeling statements about their contents, such as ‘organic,’ are questions that fall squarely within FDA’s authority to regulate both the safety and labeling of food. ”
HBBF Comprehensive Food Safety Test
Independent tests of 168 baby foods from different brands commissioned by the HBBF showed the following results: (2)
- Arsenic: 73% of tested baby foods
- Lead: 94% of tested baby foods
- Mercury: 32% of tested baby foods
- Cadmium: 75% of tested baby foods
As much as 26% of these baby foods contain all four toxic chemicals in one container. (2)

Preparing Healthier Alternatives At Home
The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) advises parents to provide young children with various foods to help reduce the toxic heavy metal levels in their diet. (13)
HBBF and Consumer Reports recommend the following healthier food options: (2)(6)
High-Risk Food: Infant rice cereal or other snacks made from rice flour (including puffs)
Heavy Metals: Lead, arsenic, and cadmium
Healthier Snack Alternatives:
- Rice-free packaged snacks

Heavy Metals: Lead and arsenic
Healthier Alternatives:
- Whole or puree fruits (applesauce)
High-Risk Food: Sweet potatoes and carrots
Heavy metals: Lead and cadmium
Healthier Alternatives:
- These vegetables are important in your baby’s diet because they’re rich in vitamin A and other nutrients.
- But you still need to limit your baby’s intake of these vegetables. Serve them together with other veggies, instead.
You may also opt to use these ingredients to make your baby’s food at home: (7)
- Quality meats, poultry, or fish
- Healthy fats (coconut oil, olive oil, or ghee)
- Whole or puréed vegetables and fruits (avocados, apples, bananas, peaches, grapes, and strawberries)
- Organic eggs
- Bone broth
- Raw yogurt
- Coconut yogurt
- Quinoa
- Oats
You can also follow these guidelines: (2)(6)
- Avoid using brown rice (it has a higher inorganic arsenic content than white rice)
- Healthier alternatives: White basmati rice (from California, India, and Pakistan) or sushi rice from the US
- Prepare rice with more water (6-10 parts water per 1 part rice). Drain afterward.
- Avoid chocolates
- Avoid high-mercury fish: king mackerel, shark, swordfish, bigeye tuna, and orange roughy.
Sprout Baby Food Recalls
There have been no baby food recall advisories or product safety warnings from Sprout Foods, Inc. (Sprout Organic Foods) regarding any issue involving their baby foods.
Also, like the other companies called out in the Congressional Report for making baby foods containing high levels of toxic metals, the company hasn’t issued a relevant safety warning or recall. (5)(7)
But this isn’t the first food safety issue for Sprout and these other baby food companies.
It was also included in the list of manufacturers with dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals in separate tests done by Consumer Reports (2018) and HBBF (Healthy Babies Bright Futures, 2019). (2)(6)
Yet, the company hasn’t recalled any product concerning any of these baby food safety reports. (2)(6)(7)
Baby Food Recall (News & Updates)
Lawsuit Filed Against Baby Food Companies
Update: March 10, 2023
A judge in Southern California greenlighted a lawsuit against companies mentioned in the Congressional Report, which alleges that baby foods tainted by heavy metal can cause ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) and autism. (14)
Experts invited by Attorney Pedram Esfandiary and his group explained to the judge that heavy metals and the brain can interact, possibly leading to these conditions. (14)
FDA Announces Human Food Safety Unit
Update: February 3, 2023
The FDA proposes the creation of the Human Foods Program, which will focus on the importance of nutrition and ensuring the US food supply’s safety (such as preventing contaminants). The new deputy commissioner in this unit will have clear decision-making authority, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf reveals. (15)
The new unit will be tasked to improve nutrition to reduce the incidents of chronic diseases linked with poor nutrition, possibly causing a decline in US life expectancy. (15)
FDA: New Limits On Lead In Baby Foods
The federal agency also proposes the following lead limits for baby food: (16)(17)
- Lower levels than 10 ppb (parts per billion) in mixed meals (for example, grain or meat-based mixtures), fruits, meat, yogurts, custards and puddings, and most vegetables
- Maximum levels of 20 ppb in dry baby cereals and root vegetables (i.e., carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets)
Baby food safety advocates, including Healthy Babies Bright Futures and Consumer Reports, want the FDA to include limits to the other heavy metals also detected in baby food. (16)(17)
They also want to lower the lead limits further, pointing out that lead can seriously affect children’s health, including neurological and developmental impairment. (16)(17)
However, the FDA believes these new lead limits can reduce young children’s dietary exposure by around 24-27%. (16)(17)

Manufacturers allowed baby food contaminated with heavy metals to remain on shelves, lawmakers say
CNN —
Gerber and Beech-Nut failed to properly test and remove baby foods with dangerous levels of inorganic arsenic from the market, while Sprout Foods Inc., Walmart’s Parent’s Choice and Plum Organics (formerly owned by Campbell) were lax in testing and controlling for heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium, according to a US Congressional report released Wednesday by the House Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy.
“Today’s report reveals that companies not only under-report the high levels of toxic content in their baby food, but also knowingly keep toxic products on the market,” said Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, chair of the House Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, which conducted the investigation.
Several baby food manufacturers CNN contacted disagree with the subcommittee’s assessment, and all say they are committed to working closely with the US Food and Drug Administration to address the issue.
Arsenic and other heavy metals are natural elements found in soil, water and air. Rice, which is a common ingredient in baby cereal, is grown submersed in water and is especially good at absorbing inorganic arsenic, the most toxic form.

95% of tested baby foods in the US contain toxic metals, report says
Exposure to heavy metals in baby food became a growing concern for parents after Healthy Babies Bright Futures, a coalition of advocates committed to reducing babies’ exposures to neurotoxic chemicals, tested 168 baby foods from major manufacturers in the US.
The testing found 95% of sampled baby foods contained lead, 73% contained arsenic, 75% contained cadmium and 32% contained mercury. One fourth of the baby foods contained all four heavy metals. The results mimicked a previous study by the US Food and Drug Administration that found one or more of the same metals in 33 of 39 types of baby food tested.
“Even in trace amounts, these contaminants can alter the developing brain and erode a child’s IQ,” said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies Bright Futures.
“The impacts add up with each meal or snack a baby eats — especially when the levels are as high as Healthy Babies Bright Futures’ research and the subcommittee’s new report show.”
In an earlier investigation released in February, the subcommittee looked at internal testing documents from four major baby food manufacturers: Gerber; Beech-Nut Nutrition; Nurture, Inc., which sells Happy Baby products; and Hain Celestial Group, Inc., which sells Earth’s Best Organic baby food.
The documents showed some products contained levels of lead, mercury, cadmium and inorganic arsenic were far above limits set for bottled water by the FDA and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Ground water can easily absorb heavy metals from the soil, and old lead pipes leak, so drinking water is a key exposure to heavy metals.

Inorganic arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury are in the World Health Organization’s top 10 chemicals of concern for infants and children.
Of the four companies, the subcommittee found only Nurture tested the final product – the actual food babies would eat – after all ingredients had been added. The rest of the companies tested some, but not all ingredients, the investigation found.
That’s a significant concern, the report said, because each ingredient may have levels of toxins that fall under the cutoff for safety – but when added together, they may exceed government standards.
There is no safe level of lead for children, according to the EPA and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While there are no specific limits set for infant foods, the EPA and FDA set an upper limit of 2 parts per billion of inorganic mercury in drinking water, and 5 parts per billion for cadmium.
In 2016 the FDA introduced a standard of 100 parts per billion for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal, finalizing that guidance in August 2020. But that level is too high to protect babies’ brains, critics said, especially considering the agency had already set the limit for bottled water at 10 parts per billion (ppb).
“FDA set the limit at 100 ppb because it was focused on the level of inorganic arsenic that would cause cancer. It disregarded the risk of neurological damage, which happens at a much lower level,” the report stated.
A maximum level of inorganic arsenic in baby food should be set at 10 parts per billion, the report said, “with a 15 ppb limit for infant cereal, as proposed in the Baby Food Safety Act. ”
An FDA spokesperson told CNN that the agency continues to make “steady progress towards developing action levels for lead in foods and evaluating the science to establish reference levels for arsenic and cadmium.”
“We look forward to providing additional updates on our efforts as new data, information, progress updates and additional material are made available.”
In May, the state of Alaska conducted a FDA-funded analysis of Beech-Nut’s and Gerber’s infant rice cereals and found “multiple samples” contained more inorganic arsenic than the “FDA’s 100 parts per billion (ppb) limit,” the report stated.

In early June, Beech-Nut Nutrition issued a voluntary recall of two infant rice cereals with product codes 103470XXXX and 093470XXXX. The company also announced that it was exiting the infant rice cereal market.
“Beech-Nut is concerned about the ability to consistently obtain rice flour well-below the FDA guidance level and Beech-Nut specifications for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic,” the FDA said in the recall announcement.
However, the subcommittee criticized Beech-Nut in the new report, saying the manufacturer had not gone far enough to protect the public.
“Beech-Nut only recalled two of its six products that tested over the limit,” the House subcommittee stated.
Beech-Nut Nutrition told CNN that “the assertion that Beech-Nut’s rice cereal recall was too narrow is incorrect” because it proactively withdrew all of its rice cereal products from supermarket shelves.
“Beech-Nut has taken a leadership role and is the first and only national brand to commit to being a fully rice-free brand across its full product portfolio,” the company said.
The subcommittee report was also critical of Gerber.
“Gerber was even worse (than Beech-Nut) —it had two products test over the 100 ppb limit and took no action to tell the public or get them off the shelves,” the subcommittee stated.
A Gerber spokesperson told CNN that the FDA had retested the samples, and was unable to confirm the result by Alaska, adding that the FDA “confirmed to Gerber that no action was needed.”
“While the Subcommittee report notes proposed limits on specific heavy metals, those are based on proposed standards from the Baby Food Safety Act, which are not current law or regulation. All Gerber foods have and continue to meet all applicable guidelines and limits set by the FDA, the governing body for safety regulations in the food industry,” the spokesperson said.
In their original report released in February, the House subcommittee said three companies had failed to fully cooperate with the investigation. Those baby food manufacturer’s are:
- Sprout Organic Foods, now owned by Canadian cannabis company Neptune Wellness Solutions
- Campbell Soup Company, which in March sold Plum Organics to Sun-Maid Growers of California
- Walmart, which manufactures Parent’s Choice baby food.
Chemicals in plastics damage babies' brains and must be banned immediately, expert group says
Since February, those companies have cooperated to “varying degrees,” the new report said. Internal company documents provided by Sprout, Campbell and Walmart show similar failures to test or monitor their baby food products, investigators found.
Samples of Plum Organics baby foods tested between 2017 and 2019 contained levels of toxic heavy metals that greatly exceeded safety limits, the investigators reported.
“Plum’s finished products contain up to 225 ppb inorganic arsenic. The majority of Plum’s baby foods also contain over 5 ppb lead, and nearly 40% exceed 5 ppb cadmium,” the subcommittee noted.
A Campbell spokesperson told CNN that despite selling the Plum Organics brand, they will continue to cooperate with the “subcommittee throughout this process” and will continue “support the FDA’s efforts in setting clear and specific science-based federal standards.”
Sun-Maid Growers of California told CNN in an email that it will “thoroughly examine the updated report from the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy and continue to work with the subcommittee – as well as the industry at large – to address these matters. ”
In 2018, Walmart “abandoned” a standard in place since 2013 that set an internal inorganic arsenic limit of 23 parts per billion for the baby food it sells, the report said, “quadrupling it” to allow up to 100 parts per billion.
“Walmart offered no justification for its extreme course reversal on protecting babies’ neurological development,” the report stated.
Walmart’s senior director of national media relations, Randy Hargrove, told CNN that the company had “always required that our suppliers’ products meet the guidelines established by the FDA. Our specifications have always been aligned with or below the FDA requirements for naturally occurring elements and the FDA noted in April that its testing shows that children ‘are not at an immediate health risk to exposure.’ “
ShutterstockChemicals in plastics damage babies' brains and must be banned immediately, expert group says
In the April release cited by Walmart, the FDA also noted that research has shown “reducing exposure to toxic elements is important to minimizing any potential long-term effects on the developing brains of infants and children.”
Finally, investigators found Sprout’s testing practices “to be the most reckless among baby food manufacturers,” the report stated, because it only requires yearly testing for toxic metals and fails to test their finished products.
Sprout has not responded to a CNN request for comment on the new report. But on its website, Sprout says that it is ready to make any changes to our “sourcing or processing systems that may be advised by the FDA,USDA, or other relevant regulatory bodies. Sprout will always comply with regulatory guidance and continue to monitor developments closely.”
In both reports, the subcommittee recommended the baby food industry voluntarily test the final product to be sold and address the problem of toxic metals in baby food by phasing out ingredients that are high in toxic heavy metals.

New legislation would reduce toxic heavy metals in baby food
“Based on my Subcommittee’s findings, I’m urgently calling on the baby food industry to immediately end harmful practices and conduct finished-product testing,” Krishnamoorthi said in the statement.
In addition, the subcommittee is urging the FDA to move faster in its efforts to establish specific regulations and mandate testing of final baby food products, not just ingredients.
In March, the FDA told baby food manufacturers they must consider toxic chemicals when they test their baby food for potential hazards, but the agency was criticized for not quickly setting concrete rules to remove toxic heavy metals from all baby foods.
“We have been working closely with FDA on regulations, and this report highlights the need for the agency to accelerate its proposed timeline for publishing them,” Krishnamoorthi said.
However, there are potential downsides to moving too quickly on regulations, the FDA said.
“While we understand that people may want rapid changes, it is crucial that measures to limit toxic elements in foods do not have unintended consequences—like limiting access to foods that have significant nutritional benefits by making them unavailable or unaffordable for many families,” a spokesperson told CNN.
Parents can act as well, experts say, by pushing their representatives to support the proposed Baby Food Safety Act or by refusing to purchase baby foods from manufacturers who do not comply with the safety recommendations.
Parents can also try to avoid foods, such as rice, that typically absorb more heavy metals from the soil. The 2019 investigation by Healthy Babies Bright Futures found cereal and rice-based snacks like puffs had the highest arsenic levels.
When rice is served, Healthy Babies’ Houlihan suggests cooking the rice in two steps:
- Boil 1 cup of rice with 4 cups water for 5 minutes
- Pour into a colander and discard the water
- Cook drained rice with 2 cups fresh water over low to medium heat, covered, until cooked.
Using this method “can remove up to 70 percent of the arsenic while still preserving some of the nutrients,” Houlihan said.

The group’s investigation also found carrots and sweet potatoes to be among those most contaminated with lead and cadmium. But don’t eliminate carrots and sweet potatoes entirely, Healthy Babies’s Houlihan advised, because they are full of vitamin A and other key nutrients.
Instead, “serve a variety of fruits and vegetables, instead of serving the same thing every day. This avoids accidentally concentrating any particular contaminant in a child’s diet,” Houlihan advised.
The Healthy Babies analysis found parents can reduce their baby’s risk of exposure to lead and cadmium by 73% by taking these steps.
When carrots, sweet potatoes and other root vegetables are served, be sure to peel them to remove heavy metals on the surface, she said, adding that “organic and homemade baby foods also contain heavy metals, so the steps above apply to those foods as well.”
Clarification: This story has been updated to reflect that while Campbell owned Plum Organics during the time period of the investigation, Plum Organics has since been sold.

Review - Turpakova Marina 11 October 2021
Good luck! This year our group number 4 "Space" is the graduation group. Ahead of the guys is schooling, new friends, new worries and the first teachers. But unfortunately, due to the difficult situation in the country, we will not have the most exciting moment - graduation in kindergarten. In this non-standard situation, in forced self-isolation, you begin to appreciate the work and work of a preschool even more. Therefore, I so want to now say my words of respect and respect to all the friendly, professional workforce of the Cheburashka kindergarten. THANK YOU! I would especially like to note the educators of our group: Chernovau Lyudmila Ivanovna and Zhukova Anzhela Alexandrovna! Thank you for your warm and kind words of greeting every morning, for your care and attention, for your wise advice, unforgettable matinees and high professionalism! Thank you! I would like to wish obedient and creative children, a lot of joy and positive emotions, a tenfold increase in wages. Special thanks to the head of preschool educational institution No. 4 Prokhorycheva Natalya Evgenievna, for organizing work in kindergarten, for your prudence, common sense and dedication to your work, for the high-quality selection of teaching staff and a clean and landscaped area. We wish your kindergarten and you personally new victories, achievements and many bright moments and positive emotions! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Turpakov family, group No. 4, 29.05.2020

Feedback on nutrition in kindergarten. I would like to express my gratitude to the management for the tasting, and for giving parents the opportunity to try the dishes that children eat in the garden. During the tasting, which took place from February 10 to 21, parents could taste the dishes prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner, evaluate them in the proposed questionnaire, and leave their wishes. My children enjoy eating in the garden. Now I understand why. The menu is compiled by experts, taking into account all the requirements and nuances. The smell of ready meals is such that the appetite wakes up instantly! Serving is perfectly organized (and for tasters too): tables are covered with tablecloths, cutlery is beautifully laid out on individual substitute napkins, paper napkins are in beautiful coasters. Personally, I was lucky to try an omelet with green peas, cocoa and a butter sandwich. Everything seemed very tasty, especially the omelette - lush, soft, I can’t make it at home. Judging by the actively growing children, who, after a whole day in the garden, have the strength for active games at home, they also really like the rest of the dishes.

I would like to thank the staff of the kindergarten "Cheburashka"! Many thanks to the management - the work of the kindergarten is perfectly organized, both in terms of domestic issues, and educational, sports and entertainment. The children are happy to participate in contests, competitions, thematic events, and we, parents, are always happy to look at the achievements of our children. Natalia Evgenievna, the manager, is always open to dialogue and discussion of all comments, suggestions and ideas. Also, special thanks to the teachers of the "Cosmic" group - Lyudimla Ivanovna Chernova, Anzhela Alexandrovna Zhukova and the assistant teacher Gulnara Sadulaevna Radzhabova. For children in the kindergarten, the teacher is not only a teacher, but also an adult who is always ready to help in any situation - from wet boots and a broken knee to a sad dream in a quiet hour. You are true professionals and masters of your craft! Thanks to our educators, the group has a warm atmosphere and the children are always busy with something useful and interesting. I am very glad that my child from an early age sees HOW - with what interest, responsibility and love you need to treat the business you are doing. Every morning my daughter goes to kindergarten with pleasure - for me this is the most important indicator. Thank you!

I would like to express my gratitude and great admiration to the teacher of group No. 3 "Morskaya" Olga Alexandrovna Fedorova and the musical worker Keldesheva Elena Vladimirovna for organizing and holding the Autumn Festival. You managed to give each child the opportunity to reveal his individuality through the role he plays. It was so nice to see the joy in the eyes of the children and on the faces of the parents. Special thanks to Natalya Evgenievna Prokhorycheva for providing new beautiful costumes and scenery for the performance. I'm looking forward to New Year's Eve))).

My three-year-old son has been attending kindergarten for a little less than 3 months. The term is short, but even now I would like to express my gratitude to the entire staff of the MBDOU "CRR - Kindergarten No. 4" Cheburashka ". Head Prokhorycheva Natalia Evgenievna takes a very responsible approach to the organization of the pedagogical process, personally controls the process of adapting the kids to the garden, gives recommendations to parents, answers all questions and wishes. Natalia Evgenievna knows all the pupils by name, knows the characteristics of each of them, and will find a kind word for everyone. The territory of the garden is kept clean, decorated according to the season. The food is well organized, everything is fresh, tasty and in sufficient quantity. I also want to thank the teachers of group No. 2 Onishchenko Svetlana Ivanovna, Kaharova Nilufar Anvarovna, and the assistant teacher Vlada for their attentive and caring attitude towards the kids, for an individual approach to everyone. A friendly warm atmosphere reigns in the group thanks to the work of teachers. Order is observed in all group rooms. Children are taught to be neat: they help to dress properly and bring personal belongings into proper shape. Build self-care skills. With a calm heart, I entrust the child to the care of educators, seeing with what pleasure he goes to kindergarten. Thank you very much for your work!
