As a family business, we deeply value the trust parents place in us, and we want you to know that we hear your concerns about the recent Consumer Reports analysis of infant formulas, including Kendamil Organic. Your baby’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do, and we take this matter very seriously. We remain fully committed to continuous improvement, parent transparency, and providing the safest, highest-quality formula for your little one. First and foremost, we want to reassure you that Kendamil Organic, along with our entire range of infant formulas, is completely safe for your little one. As the USA has no federal limits for heavy metals, we voluntarily adhere to the strictest European standards for heavy metals across all our U.S. products and test in accordance with the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment Prop 65 Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL) for lead—recognized by Consumer Reports as one of the highest safety benchmarks. As parents we completely understand—and share—your concerns about heavy metals in baby food and their cumulative exposure and we take this extremely seriously. Heavy metals do naturally occur in soil, water, and food, including infant formula and even breast milk. While their presence can’t be entirely eliminated, we can do more to minimize levels and reduce exposure—and we will. To share an immediate update and to further strengthen our commitment to safety, we’ve recently partnered with an advanced specialist food safety lab who will be helping us identify and control trace heavy metals at more precise levels than ever before. This allows us to apply even more rigorous testing standards than those we already meet. We have always taken pride in being a brand parents could rely on to raise the bar for natural ingredients, clean recipes and the strictest global standards. But this is about more than just meeting international standards, it’s about exceeding the standards that you—and we, as parents—would expect. There is more to do and our entire team is completely committed to continue raising the bar and delivering an infant formula that we and our families can be proud of.

Because ppb is independent of serving size, values cited here represent average concentrations found in foods like carrots or sweet potatoes, regardless of portion.
