  • Texas AG Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into major baby food manufacturers over concerns that they may have violated state law by deceptively marketing and selling products that contain harmful heavy metals.
  • According to the press release, some companies set internal standards that permit unsafe levels of toxic heavy metals, and exposure to such substances can cause brain damage in young children. AG Paxton is challenging these internal standards and the companies’ alleged misrepresentations about the health benefits of their products.
  • AG Paxton initiated the investigation by issuing Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) to the manufacturers, with additional CIDs expected as the investigation continues.
  • We have previously reported on AG requests for FDA guidance on testing for toxic metals in baby food.
