A report by the House Oversight Committee’s subcommittee found baby foods such as sweet potato puree, rice cereals, sweet potato puree, sweet snack puffs, and others contain “significant levels of toxic heavy metals.”
Top baby food companies like Beech-Nut, Gerber, Earth’s Best Organic, and HappyBABY agreed to submit internal documents and test results to the committee. Meanwhile, Campbell, Walmart, and Sprout Organic Foods declined to cooperate with the requests.
