Bill overview
The Baby Food Safety Act of 2023 aims to protect infants and toddlers by establishing limits on potentially harmful toxic elements – lead, cadmium, mercury, and inorganic arsenic – in foods intended for this age group, including infant formula. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will set these limits through administrative orders, considering health data and feasibility. The bill also updates regulations regarding adulteration and strengthens the FDA’s recall authority to address contaminated baby food.
