Florida says it found toxins in infant formula The testing was part of the state's "Make America Healthy Again" commissi

Florida found elevated levels of at least one heavy metal or pesticide in 16 brands of formula. It did not specify which pesticides were part of the tests.

The state says it detected the most toxins, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury in Similac Soy Isomil powder. The state found varying levels of each contaminant in the formula, including a maximum of 14.99 parts per billion of lead.

That number far exceeds what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said is safe for drinking water, which is no amount of lead. While it does provide guidance on what nutrients should be in baby formula, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve infant formulas.

Two other formulas had three toxins detected, according to the state: Enfamil Prosobee and Enfamil Infant NeuroPro Ready to Use.
