Baby food and all manufactured and processed foods for children are made at food manufacturing plants and facilities. The raw materials for baby food in the form of fruits, vegetables and meats are converted intmeals for children at the manufacturing plant. The food manufacturer uses special techniques tclean, package, sort, prepare, steam and seal the food intsterile containers. Next, the food is stored in climate-controlled areas before it is sent off tthe distribution facilities tbe sold tgrocery stores where you buy the baby food for your children’s nutrition. During the food process, there can be an opportunity for contaminants tcross paths with the baby food being made at the plant. When this happens, the food can turn toxic and when that food is eaten, it can cause problems for the child whconsumes it.

It is hard tsay exactly where a toxin can come from at one plant that makes baby foods. That is because there are several opportunities for food tbe tainted at a baby food manufacturer’s facility. Needless tsay, if there are metals that are uncleaned during the manufacturing process, then these metals or contaminants can get intthe baby food being manufactured. Heavy metals, lead and other dangerous chemicals can get intbaby food at the manufacturing plant. When the heavy metals stay in the baby food jar as a final product tthe manufacturing process, the next stop for the baby food is intyour child’s mouth! The baby food manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their baby food products are safe and that they have documented how they worked tpreserve the integrity and safety of their baby food while it was being made at the plant. If heavy metals or toxins are found in the manufacturing plant’s water that services the plant, that counts too, as that water resource will contaminate the baby food during the processing and manufacturing process.

There are studies that show that a child whis exposed tingesting baby food tainted with heavy metals can possibly develop autism spectrum disorders, based on the exposure tthe toxins in the baby foods. The research shows that even gestational exposure tsome toxic substances during pregnancy can disrupt and affect the endocrine and neurological systems of an unborn child. This result is because pollution, toxins in the environment, endocrine-disrupting chemicals and other pollutants can play a crucial factor in the neurodevelopment of a child. When the bodily functions and brain development are adversely affected by toxins, the child will suffer later, quite possibly in the form of developing an autism spectrum disorder.
