In recent years, there has been debate over a handful of studies that claimed to find high levels of certain toxic heavy metals, like arsenic and lead in baby food. While it is unclear exactly how these elements may affect growing children and babies at the levels found in food, the FDA says it recognizes that parents don't want their children exposed to any toxic elements. But, federal health officials have acknowledged there will be challenges in meeting the goal of zero.

While it is unclear exactly how these elements may affect growing children and babies at the levels found in food, the FDA says it recognizes that parents don't want their children exposed to any toxic elements. But, federal health officials have acknowledged there will be challenges in meeting the goal of zero.

The FDA said its Closer to zero action plan will set "action levels" which they describe as "recommended limits of toxic elements in foods that can be achieved by industry and progressively lowered as appropriate. "The FDA stressed that its testing has shown that children are not at "immediate health risk" from exposure or consumption of these toxic metals at the levels currently found in food. But, a U.S. house Oversight Committee report back in february raised concerns over  "dangerous levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury"  found in various baby food brands.

Despite the FDA's assurances, Dr. aparna Bole, a specialist with the board of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said in response to the Congressional report that there is "no safe dose of heavy metals for infants and children."
The agency added that it's going to first prioritize elements it has the most data and info on, which are arsenic.
