What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill requires companies that make baby and toddler food to test their products every three months for harmful substances like lead and arsenic. If a company doesn't follow these testing rules, their food is considered contaminated and cannot be sold across state lines. The bill also says that if the FDA finds contamination in baby or toddler food, they must give the company a chance to recall the product voluntarily before forcing a recall. For baby formula specifically, if testing finds dangerous germs like Listeria or Salmonella, the manufacturer must tell the FDA within 24 hours, throw away the contaminated product, and share test results with the FDA.
