希望大家都要仔细读写一下啊: https://oversight.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/2021-02-04%20ECP%20Baby%20Food%20Staff%20Report.pdf
According to internal company documents and test results obtained by the Subcommittee, commercial baby foods are tainted with significant levels of toxic heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury. Exposure to toxic heavy metals causes permanent decreases in IQ, diminished future economic productivity, and increased risk of future criminal and antisocial behavior in children.

LEAD was present in baby foods made by all responding companies. • Nurture (HappyBABY) sold finished baby food products that tested as high as 641 ppb lead. Almost 20% of the finished baby food products that Nurture tested contained over 10 ppb lead. • Beech-Nut used ingredients containing as much as 886.9 ppb lead. It used many ingredients with high lead content, including 483 that contained over 5 ppb lead, 89 that contained over 15 ppb lead, and 57 that contained over 20 ppb lead. • Hain (Earth’s Best Organic) used ingredients containing as much as 352 ppb lead. Hain used many ingredients with high lead content, including 88 that tested over 20 ppb lead and six that tested over 200 ppb lead. • Gerber used ingredients that tested as high as 48 ppb lead; and used many ingredients containing over 20 ppb lead

MERCURY was detected in baby food of the only responding company that tested for it. • Nurture (HappyBABY) sold finished baby food products containing as much as 10 ppb mercury. • Beech-Nut and Hain (Earth’s Best Organic) do not even test for mercury in baby food. • Gerber rarely tests for mercury in its baby foods.

These results are multiples higher than allowed under existing regulations for other products. For example, the Food and Drug Administration has set the maximum allowable levels in bottled water at 10 ppb inorganic arsenic, 5 ppb lead, and 5 ppb cadmium, and the Environmental Protection Agency has capped the allowable level of mercury in drinking water at 2 ppb. The test results of baby foods and their ingredients eclipse those levels: including results up to 91 times the arsenic level, up to 177 times the lead level, up to 69 times the cadmium level, and up to 5 times the mercury level.

天啦,全是我家娃吃的零食牌子。那全部丢了么?接下俩又吃什么呢?

不知道该怎么办了

而且提供数据了的四个品牌都是最常见的牌子了。还有其它牌子拒绝提供数据,估计更差… 仔细看了一下报告,感觉happy baby还行,是检测的成品,还能找到含量较低的,其它只检测原料的我是不敢买了…

所以有机不有机的就是个笑话,还有美国对婴儿食品监管这么松么?

我当年坚持自己给娃做辅食,就是担心arsenic这类含量会超标,当时还被某个只在我家做了2周的nanny嘲笑过。人家估计觉得我简直不可理喻。
ETA:娃小的时候我是完全避开rice的,用barley、oats之类的代替。娃大一点后,米饭也不是主食,每周最多吃2-3次。

砷这种东西不是自己做就能避免的吧?大米里面很容易有啊。。一岁之前我尽量让娃少吃大米类的辅食吃燕麦类的。。可是大点以后我那傻儿子每天认准白米饭大把大把地吃。。。发愁啊。。。

对啊,娃很小的时候我就没给吃米粉米饭,1岁前都是用pearl barley、oats之类的自己磨成粉代替。老大到2岁多才开始吃一点米饭。老二早一点,1岁多就喜欢上米饭了,但也不是当主食天天吃,一周最多吃几次。

不是说加州大米没问题吗

听说多淘几遍米甚至泡过夜就能去掉大部分砷
话说有人知道中国国内产的大米超标吗

我前天看到这个也是惊讶。好对不起宝宝们。大宝吃了三盒,大部分食物是自己的新鲜食物,土豆南瓜红薯啥的,二宝吃了快五盒了,总是图方便不做新鲜的食物。

我没买过米糊,不知道是咋样的。我家也没电饭锅,我就用一口普通的锅,把oats/ barley用水煮熟,然后用blender打成purée,冻成块状。然后吃的时候解冻1-3块,再加几块其它解冻好的调味品,比如自己做的apple sauce,鸡肉purée,等等。
娃大点就不用打成purée了,煮成oatmeal / bean and barley soup(网上搜食谱),加maple syrup / 盐直接吃。
