We found that many companies, such as Gerber and Earth’s Best, offer parents easily-accessible information about toxic elements on their websites. But others, including five of the country’s top store-brand baby foods, make it hard for parents to find out this critical information.
For example, a parent can’t simply check these retailers’ corporate websites for information before heading to the store; instead shoppers have to scan QR codes in the store to get to a website, then enter product lot numbers or UPC codes (all while possibly juggling their baby in the store aisle!). This is not a realistic way to get this important information about contaminants to parents.
Tell Walmart, Kroger, Target, Aldi and Albertson’s to make it easy for parents to know what’s in their baby food products.
