This legislation directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to undertake a comprehensive study. This study, to be completed within one year of enactment, will investigate the health impacts of specific toxic metals—arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead—when present in infant formula. Furthermore, the bill mandates that within 90 days of its enactment, the Secretary must establish either enforcement action levels or maximum contamination levels for these identified substances in infant formula. This dual approach aims to provide regulatory oversight and protect infant health by setting clear standards for the content of these harmful elements in infant formula products.
