Public Health - Baby Food Testing - Definition of Baby Food

Summary

The bill expands Maryland’s definition of “baby food” to cover infant formula and cereal, then requires manufacturers to test each product for arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. Results must be posted on the maker’s website and a QR code placed on the label so consumers can see the data. The goal is to give parents clear information and keep harmful metals out of foods for children under two.
