Just as the infant formula crisis of 2022 has receded from the collective memory of American parents comes word of a new formula fiasco: presence of harmful contaminants, including arsenic and lead, in some of the leading brands, according to a Consumer Reports (CR) investigation.
“We really want these results to be empowering for parents,” said CR’s manager of food safety research and testing, Sana Mujahid, in the report. “If you are just at the beginning of your formula journey, there are plenty of safer choices from major brands like Enfamil and Similac and smaller brands like Bobbie. If you are already giving your child one of the formulas on our list with comparatively higher levels of contaminants, there are several steps you can take.”
