Why heavy metal testing matters
Heavy metals like arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury can occur naturally in soil, water, and the food supply due to decades of environmental pollution. While small traces can sometimes find their way into food, exposure at unsafe levels can harm a baby’s cognitive development and overall health.
At Li’l Hala, we go above and beyond to ensure every meal we provide is delicious and safe. Through our heavy metal testing, we’re proud to offer baby food you can trust.
