What it does

The Safe Baby Formula Act of 2026 would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a study within one year of enactment on the health impacts of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in infant formula. Within 90 days of enactment, the Secretary must establish evidence-based action levels for these toxic metals in infant formula, considering feasibility, enforcement capacity for imported products, and impacts on domestic food security. The bill defines "infant formula" according to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applies these requirements to all infant formula sold or offered for import in the United States.
