"AGs Push FDA for Lead Testing in Baby Food Amid Contamination Concerns"

A group of attorneys general is urging the FDA to enhance protection of baby food from toxic metals following an applesauce recall linked to lead poisoning cases. Lawmakers have previously raised concerns about the recall, with the FDA warning that the manufacturer did not test its products for heavy metals. The FDA's investigation is ongoing, and while no new illnesses have been reported, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has received reports of 422 cases, with 101 confirmed.
