Core Tip: A Spanish study has called for European rules on mercury and arsenic in infant cereal in light of high - in some cases ‘risk’ - levels found, particularly in organic and gluten-free products.
It also called for continued efforts in standardizing routine quality control and reduction of arsenic in these products.
The study, published in the journal of Food Control, investigated mercury and arsenic levels in 91 infant cereals from different manufacturers in the Spanish market.
