Metals in baby food?

Question

So my moms informed me that on the news and a bunch of studies have been done recently about there being metals in baby foods, is this true? If so, what can i do about it? I barely have time to make myself food let alone make and meal prep baby food (we are in the process of moving).   Are there certain brands that are okay? I use BeechNut the “just” ones.  And sometimes Gerber for peaches and banana.

Answer

Those levels are present in all foods grown in soil. It's pure scaremongering. These are trace amounts and not at all concerning. You'd find the same if you grew your own fruits and vegetables.

Answer

I follow @mommaknows_nutrition on instagram & she had a great post addressing this!

Answer

I would stick with organic brands like beach nut, until you're all settled and can make your own. It only takes a minute to mash up a banana, or to make oatmeal with applesauce. I personally stay away from brands like gerber. I've heard of a brand that delivers fresh baby food to your door, I can't remember what its called but if you google around I'm sure it'll pop up!
