from Environmental Law Foundation
I find this press release to be very disturbing! You will find in this list even several organic brands and popular, normally safe, brands like Trader Joes. Here’s another link with similar info. Be sure to check out the list below and throw out any these you may have at home.
On June 9, 2010 the Environmental Law Foundation (“ELF”) filed Notices of Violation of California Proposition 65 Toxics Right to Know law, alleging the toxic chemical lead was found in a variety of children’s and baby foods. The specific food categories included apple juice, grape juice, packaged pears and peaches (including baby food), and fruit cocktail. A complete list of the companies and products named appears with the notice and is located on the ELF website.
