FDA BABY FOODS LEAD ACTION LEVEL GUIDANCE
FDA has announced action levels for lead in categories of processed baby foods as part of their campaign Closer to Zero which seeks to reduce exposure to lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury to the lowest levels possible in foods eaten by babies and young children. Foods covered by the guidance include food packaged in jars, pouches, tubs, and boxes that are intended for babies and young children less than two years old.
The draft guidance contains the following action levels:
- 10 parts per billion (ppb) for fruits, vegetables (excluding single-ingredient root vegetables), mixtures (including grain and meat-based mixtures), yogurts. custards/puddings and single-ingredient meats.
- 20 ppb for root vegetables (single ingredient).
- 20 ppb for dry cereals.
The FDA considers these action levels to be achievable when measures are taken to minimize the presence of lead and expects that industry will strive for continual reduction of this contaminant. More information is available at FDA Announces Action Levels for Lead in Categories of Processed Baby Foods | FDA.
