Metals in baby’s food?

Question

So yesterday someone sent me a video of a mother that used some magnets on gerber’s wheat cereal and found a ton of metals. I did the same with the gerbers organic oatmeal and this is what I saw. 
I’m concerned. Should I be ?
This is only a small ziplock snack size. So imagine how much they’ll eat in one container 🤔

Answer

Don't be fooled/scared by these bogus videos. Most cereals on the market are fortified with iron (a metal), this includes adult cereals. Babies needs iron to help with their development. We all need iron, it's literally in our blood. The people who post these are fear mongering, don't fall for it. Look at the label of the cereal, it tells you that iron is in it.

Answer

I assume it’s supplemented Iron.

Answer

Email / Call Gerber and ask? 
My understanding is that any iron fortified cereal (not just baby cereal) when ground up in a blender and then a magnet held to it will have this result. 
I have not tried the experiment myself.

Answer

I wouldn't eat it, so I definitely wouldn't give it to my baby

Answer

There was a major medical study that showed heavy metals and high levels of arsenic are found in most major baby foods and almost all juices. It's a very easy google. The topic exploded in all the major newspapers and websites a few years ago.
In reality just skip "baby food" altogether. 
Do oatmeal rather than rice cereals because the rice has the high levels of arsenic. Puree fresh fruits and veggies. Do finger foods. This was the advice given.

Answer

Screw that! Babies don’t even need the empty calories. I would skip it altogether

Answer

If that is actually a piece of metal, you should be concerned.
