The bill, which is called “The Baby Food Safety Act of 2024," was introduced by U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tammy Duckworth."Heavy metals can be associated with the developing brain, especially in babies or young children," said Dr. Alexis Monique Javier, pediatrician with Children's Memorial Hermann Pediatrics.
