Clarified lead guidance protects kids
If you are a parent or guardian, the FDA corrected an error in the January 7, 2025 Federal Register notice about its final guidance titled "Action Levels for Lead in Processed Food Intended for Babies and Young Children." The correction clarifies the guidance so food makers know how to keep lead levels safe for babies and young children, and it does not create new rules or costs.
No new costs for baby-food makers
If you make processed foods for babies or young children, the FDA says the correction to the January 7, 2025 notice does not create any new rules or costs for industry. The document simply fixes an error in the Background section of the notice about the final guidance.
