Safe Baby Formula Act of 2025
S 2371, the Safe Baby Formula Act of 2025, requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to study the health impacts of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in infant formula within one year of enactment. Within 90 days of the bill becoming law, HHS must establish either enforceable action levels or formal maximum contamination limits for these toxic metals in infant formula. The bill directly affects infant formula manufacturers and distributors, who will need to comply with the new safety standards. The law defines "infant formula" using the existing federal definition under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
