The Safe Baby Formula Act of 2025 directs the Department of Health and Human Services to study how arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in infant formula affect infant health, with results due within one year of the law's enactment. Within 90 days, the agency must also establish either enforcement action levels or maximum contamination limits for these four toxic metals in infant formula through new regulations or existing enforcement mechanisms. The bill affects all manufacturers and distributors of infant formula sold in the United States, as well as parents and infants who depend on formula for nutrition. The legislation does not specify dedicated funding for the study or implementation, meaning the work would likely be completed using existing agency resources. This addresses concerns about heavy metal contamination in infant formula, a product essential for millions of American babies.
