Lead levels in retail samples of Spanish infant formulae and their contribution to dietary intake of infants

Abstract: Lead concentrations in a total of 82 different types of infant formulae (cow's milk and soy based) marked in Spain were analysed by acid-microwave decomposition and anodic stripping voltammetry. Dietary lead intake from infant formula and tap water used for powder formula reconstitution were estimated in comparison with the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI). Additionally, the influence of physical state (powder and ready to use formulae), the type of container used and the impact of industrial process… Show more

“…The mean levels of measured lead and zinc were significantly higher in products B and L, respectively, while infant formula P had significantly lower concentration of zinc content. Navarro-Blasco and Alvarez-Galindo [ 24 ] reported similar results that there were significant variations of lead concentrations across the infant formula brands. This difference could be attributed to the variation of raw materials used in manufacturing, production practices, finished products, and packaging containers used by infant formula manufacturers [ 25 ].…”
