Recently, infant formula samples from well-known companies, store brands, startups and imported brands were tested for contaminants. The samples were tested for lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, acrylamide, aluminum, bisphenol A (BPA), and “forever chemicals” (also called “PFAS”). Heavy metals or contaminants were found in 20 out of 41 of the powdered infant formula samples. In the majority of the products tested, the levels remain within safe thresholds.
