Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to finish a study within 1 year on how arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in infant formula affect infant health. It would also require the Secretary, within 90 days, to set evidence-based action levels for these four metals in infant formula. When setting these levels, the Secretary would have to consider how feasible they are to meet, the department's ability to enforce them on imported food, and their effect on domestic food security.
