Tell Congress: Support the Baby Food Safety Act

Parents in this country cannot find formula to feed their babies and now they have to worry about what is in the baby food they purchase. No mother should have to worry about what she is spooning into her babies' mouths, day after day. 

A congressional report found significant levels of toxic heavy metals in baby food — both conventional and organic. Lead. Arsenic. Cadmium. Mercury. These are poisonous to a baby's developing brain and nervous system. 

Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), Representative Tony Cárdenas (CA-29), Senator Amy Klobuchar (MN), and Senator Tammy Duckworth (IL) have introduced the Baby Food Safety Act to address this problem. This legislation would dramatically reduce toxic heavy metals in baby food, educate parents about the risks, and invest in researching ways to reduce toxic heavy metals in crops and soil. The Baby Food Safety Act would make it easier for parents to nourish their babies without unknowingly putting them at risk.

Tell Congress to protect our babies by supporting the Baby Food Safety Act.

To whom it may concern: 

A congressional report, titled "Baby Foods Are Tainted with Dangerous Levels of Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury," found "significant levels" of heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, in baby food. Heavy metals harm our children's health. They have been linked to cancer and disease, and their presence in baby food is horrifying because of the potential impact of heavy metals on the brain development and nervous system of babies and young children. The science is clear on this. No mother should have to worry about what she is spooning into her babies' mouths, day after day.  

Please add your name to Representative Krishnamoorthi, Representative Cárdenas, Senator Klobuchar, and Senator Duckworth's Baby Food Safety Act. This legislation would dramatically reduce toxic heavy metals in baby food, educate parents about the risks, and invest in researching ways to reduce toxic heavy metals in crops and soil. The Baby Food Safety Act would make it easier for parents to nourish their babies without unknowingly putting them at risk.

With your leadership, we can pass legislation to develop and enforce standards to keep our baby food free of toxic heavy metals.
