Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – The Illinois House unanimously passed a plan Tuesday to properly notify parents about the toxic metals in baby food.

This legislation could require baby food manufacturers to test their products for toxic heavy metals.

Companies would then have to clearly label how much of each toxic metal is found in their baby food.

Manufacturers must also include a QR code for people to scan and find more information about the test results and FDA guidance about the health effects of toxic elements for children.

According to our news partners at WAND-TV the proposal will now head back to the Senate on concurrence. Senators unanimously approved the original bill language last month.
