* The legal limits for heavy metals in baby food and processed cereal-based food for infants and young children up to 3 years old are defined in Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 of 25 April 2023. This regulation sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in food and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, Annex 1, CELEX_32023R0915.
** The European food regulations set limits for inorganic arsenic. Organic and inorganic arsenic occur in nature; however, inorganic arsenic is more strictly regulated in food due to its potential health risks
*** There is no specific mercury limit for baby food because overall safety is ensured through general limits for food, strict regulations, and the precautionary principle.
ppb = parts per billion. It’s a unit of measurement used to describe extremely small amounts of a substance in food, water, or air. Ppb tells us how much of a substance, like arsenic or lead, is in a food product. For example, if baby food has 10 ppb of arsenic, it means that in one billion parts of that food, only 10 parts are arsenic
