But it could be something more serious: postpartum depression<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before the San Fernando Valley lawmaker joined the Legislature, California had already passed laws that require monitoring of heavy metals in both prenatal vitamins and baby food. But, Rodriguez wondered, what about baby formula?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, there was an obvious gap,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Further research showed Rodriguez that, since 2022, California Attorney General Rob Bonta had settled two lawsuits with major companies over lead in formula \u2014 one in 2022 with Perrigo Co. over levels of lead that exceeded the Proposition 65 warning threshold, and one in 2024 with Mead Johnson over missing lead exposure warnings on their products.<\/p>\n<p>So, Rodriguez authored a state bill that would require formula companies to provide information on heavy metals in any infant formula sold in California. If passed, Assembly Bill 2302 would require manufacturers to post the levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury in each formula batch online. In stores, this information would be retrieved by scanning a QR code.<\/p>\n<p>California and other states enacted similar laws in 2023 requiring heavy metal testing and disclosure for baby food, but, at that time, formula was not included.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe trust parents to make the best decisions for their children,\u201d said Carley Clemons, senior policy associate at the nonprofit Children Now, which is sponsoring the bill. \u201cEspecially if information is presented to them accessibly.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Bipartisan movement<\/h4>\n<p>The effort to monitor toxic chemicals in baby formula is part of a larger movement that has bipartisan support nationwide, from Democratic officials in California and Maryland to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida. In January, at a rally in Pennsylvania, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised to publish a study that would examine contaminants such as cadmium, mercury and lead in formula.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to be regulating baby formula companies so they\u2019re giving you something that is as close to mother\u2019s milk as we can get,\u201d Kennedy said. Though the FDA recently began testing infant formula for chemical contaminants, the agency has not yet set action levels for them.<\/p>\n<p>While states around the country have proposed similar legislation, California is poised to be a leader on the issue. Rodriguez, who gave birth to her second daughter in February, said she\u2019s in a \u201cunique position\u201d to bring the bill forward. She was the first state Assembly member to give birth in six years, she said, and she\u2019s returning from maternity leave just in time to see her bill to the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>Ab 2302, which recently passed the Assembly, will be voted on by the Senate by the end of the summer.<\/p>\n<h4>Moms Agenda<\/h4>\n<p>The formula bill is part of a larger, coordinated effort her team calls the \u201cMoms Agenda,\u201d a set of bills focused on maternal and infant health, financial stability and essential services access. \u201cWhen you\u2019re a parent, you\u2019re naturally worried about your child at all times,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But a national industry formula industry group called the Infant Nutrition Council of America (INCA) has been attending state-level hearings around the country to oppose such bills, including California\u2019s. INCA\u2019s members include Abbot Nutrition, which produces Similac; Perrigo Nutrition, which produces store brand formulas for chains such as Costco, Target and Walmart; and Reckitt, which produces Enfamil via its subsidiary, Mead Johnson. Together, these three manufacturers make up more than 80% of the United States formula market.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter opposing one of the bills, INCA\u2019s government affairs director, Craig Felner, wrote that the proposed action \u201cmight unjustifiably erode confidence in U.S. infant formula products.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Concern over alarming parents<\/h4>\n<p>Formula companies already are testing their products for heavy metals and other toxic elements, INCA representatives confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can unequivocally tell you that our members test under the international European Union standards,\u201d Felner said at a California Assembly Health Committee hearing on March 24. Heavy metals and arsenic appear in \u201ctrace amounts,\u201d he clarified, and infant formula is already heavily regulated.<\/p>\n<p>Their concern is how these labels may be \u201cpotentially alarming for parents,\u201d INCA representative Missy Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to feed babies formula \u201cusually doesn\u2019t come lightly,\u201d Felner explained. \u201cIf a mom or a dad is in a store, and they\u2019re trying to figure out parts per billion, parts per million, and they don\u2019t quite know what it means \u2013 maybe they just found out for the first time that heavy metals is (sic) actually in infant formula.\u201d They\u2019re also in breast milk, he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey might find out for the first time there at that store, and it might make them really anxious,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want them to put down the can and Google homemade recipes or go grab some almond milk.\u201d INCA wants to make these decisions easier on parents, Felner said.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2018A huge point of stress\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>Not having information on toxic element levels actually made choosing between formulas more difficult, said Leah Dennis, a Los Angeles mother who had her first child in December.<\/p>\n<p>After her daughter was born, she said she had to rely on formula much sooner than she expected because of issues with her breastmilk supply. Dennis, a 35-year-old music editor, said she started doing research on the best formula brands just days after her daughter was born. Before then, she didn\u2019t even realize heavy metals could be in formula.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, she only had one day to choose the best formula option for her baby. \u201cIt was a huge point of stress,\u201d she said. \u201cIt would have been very much helpful to have more transparency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=13013\">Dodgers score 9 runs in 1st inning, rout Angels in Freeway Series<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez pointed out that California laws monitoring toxic elements in baby food haven\u2019t negatively affected parents. \u201cThe law is being implemented right now, and there\u2019s no mass confusion,\u201d she said. \u201cParents aren\u2019t panicking, they\u2019re informed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because companies are already testing, \u201cthis bill doesn\u2019t change a single thing for them,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cKeeping parents in the dark is not consumer protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Waiting on California<\/h4>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time INCA has opposed releasing this data \u2014 the council fought a similar bill in Maryland that would have included infant formula and infant cereal in the definition of \u201cbaby food,\u201d which is already tested for toxic elements.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the bill failed after INCA lobbyists argued that although its products already are tested, the disclosure could alarm parents.<\/p>\n<p>INCA\u2019s members \u201cdon\u2019t want to be held accountable,\u201d said Maryland Delegate Deni Taveras, who sponsored the bill. \u201cIf you are as heavily regulated as you say you are, and you\u2019re doing all the right things, as you say you are, then we shouldn\u2019t have a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>INCA also  a similar bill in Vermont. \u201cThey know that once one state does it, the other states are going to do it,\u201d said Tom Neltner, director of the nonprofit Unleaded Kids.<\/p>\n<p>Vermont\u2019s bill, which recently passed, hinges on California\u2019s decision \u2014 it stipulates that formula would be included in the definition of baby food only when \u201ceither California or two other states have enacted legislation with requirements substantially comparable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVermont\u2019s not going to move the market,\u201d Neltner said.<\/p>\n<p>Other states are interested in proposing their own bills, but are looking to follow California\u2019s lead, Taveras said. She\u2019s been working with Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin to craft their own bills. New York also has passed a bill that would require infant formula testing and disclosure. It\u2019s waiting on the governor\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<p>If California\u2019s bill is killed like Maryland\u2019s was, it could have a chilling effect on other states, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia has a history of pushing the boundaries forward on protecting our kids and families,\u201d said Kelly Hardy, senior managing director of health and research with the nonprofit Children Now. \u201cHopefully, there\u2019ll be positive reverberations throughout the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parents who use formula deserve to know the products are safe, Rodriguez said. By the time they\u2019re 3 months old, more than 73% of Orange and San Bernardino county babies receive at least some formula, according to data from the California Department of Public Health. The same is true for 74.4% of Los Angeles County and 67.9% of Riverside County babies.<\/p>\n<p>Breastfeeding isn\u2019t always an option, especially for working mothers, Rodriguez said. That\u2019s an issue she\u2019s dealt with firsthand. \u201cI have to go to floor session and feed my baby somehow simultaneously,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m still struggling to make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Lagging formula regulations<\/h4>\n<p>Heavy metals and other toxic elements are, unfortunately, omnipresent, appearing in everything from seafood and vegetables to rice and baby food \u2014 and even breast milk.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also in baby formula. Last year, Consumer Reports tested 41 formulas for contaminants such as lead and arsenic, and about half contained potentially harmful levels of at least one. This year, Consumer Reports tested 49 more formulas and found concerning levels of\u00a0contaminants in 26 of them.<\/p>\n<p>Consumer Reports\u2019 2025 report found that Abbott Nutrition, Mead Johnson Nutrition, and Perrigo Co. each had products in both the best and worst categories. That means \u201call of the large manufacturers are actually already creating formula with no or low levels, just not all of their products,\u201d Clemons said.<\/p>\n<p>The prevalence of these toxins is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, ADHD, learning disability, intellectual impairment, and behavioral disorders, , an alliance of scientists and advocates working to protect kids from toxic chemicals. In California, the cost of educating disabled students is nearly triple the cost of educating students without disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the FDA launched its Closer to Zero program to regulate heavy metals in baby food \u2014 but not formula. On its website, the FDA acknowledges, \u201cWe have prioritized foods commonly eaten by babies and young children because their smaller body sizes and metabolism make them more vulnerable to the harmful effects of these contaminants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That Closer to Zero does not include baby formula is a \u201cloophole,\u201d Hardy said.<\/p>\n<p>A day after Consumer Reports shared its test results with the FDA in 2025, the agency announced Operation Stork Speed, an initiative to \u201cexpand options for safe, reliable, and nutritious infant formula for American families.\u201d Recent testing established that contaminant levels in formula were low, but \u201ceven small exposures matter for newborns,\u201d said Kennedy, the HHS director, in the FDA\u2019s press release.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear \u201cwhat level of priority that is for the federal government right now,\u201d Clemons said, and California babies can\u2019t afford to wait.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=12965\">3 people stabbed at San Clemente Pier<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before Celeste Rodriguez joined the Assembly, California already was monitoring heavy metals in prenatal vitamins and baby food.
