A new report finds that some heavy metals in baby food have been on the decline—but that more can be done to make baby food safer overall.
Consumer Reports noted that some foods still contain higher levels of heavy metals, including rice, sweet potatoes and snack foods like rice-based puffs and teething wafers.
Toxicologist Stephanie Widmer told ABC News the presence of heavy metals in baby food shouldn't be a surprise since they are present in the soil used to grow crops. "We have to remember that heavy metals are in the soil where crops grow; they are part of the Earth," Widmer said."Heavy metals are and always have been present in tons of different foods we consume and feed to our children."Widmer added,"Variety in our diets is key in limiting exposure to harmful heavy metals.
