Bill > S2371

This bill, known as the Safe Baby Formula Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct a comprehensive study within one year of the bill's enactment to examine the health impacts of toxic metals (specifically arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead) in infant formula. Following the study, the Secretary must take regulatory action within 90 days by either establishing enforcement action levels or implementing maximum contamination levels for these toxic metals in infant formula. The bill uses the existing definition of "infant formula" from the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, ensuring a clear and consistent understanding of the product covered by the legislation. By mandating both a scientific study and subsequent regulatory measures, the bill aims to protect infant health by addressing potential risks from toxic metal contamination in baby formula, reflecting growing concerns about the long-term health effects of early exposure to these substances.
