,The FDA has issued final guidance setting action levels for lead in processed foods for babies and young children. The levels are 10 ppb for most foods, and 20 ppb for root vegetables and dry infant cereals. This is part of the "Closer to Zero" initiative to minimize dietary exposure to contaminants. The FDA advises parents to provide a varied diet to reduce lead risks. These guidelines help manufacturers reduce lead content while maintaining food availability.
