Pediatricians & Pediatric Dietitians - Baby Food Microplastics Advice

EXPERT MEDIA REQUEST: Pediatricians, Pediatric Dietitians, and Child Health Advocates: 🩺 The latest Consumer Reports investigation tested 48 commercial baby foods for heavy metals, phthalates, and microplastics. While heavy metal levels have dropped in 96% of products tested, 100% of tested purees still contained microplastics and high-risk foods like rice, sweet potatoes, and teething wafers remain problematic. We’d love your clinical perspective for our upcoming piece: How do you advise parents who feel guilty or overwhelmed by these headlines? What practical diet rotation or kitchen prep advice do you give families starting solids? ⏳ DEADLINE Monday, Sept 21, 2026 5pm PST https://lnkd.in/gVt685i6
