Mt. Pleasant Police Seeking Help From The Community After Stabbing

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has joined a coalition of 20 attorney generals calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take urgent action to protect babies and young children nationwide from lead and other toxic metals in baby food.

They are urging the FDA to act on earlier petitions to issue specific guidance to the baby food industry to require testing of all finished food products for lead and other toxic metals.

The coalition emphasizes the critical need for the FDA to act, citing recent findings of hundreds of cases of childhood lead poisoning linked to recalled cinnamon applesauce pouches.
