Heavy metals in Infant food-storage items (milk storage bags/containers)

Bags and containers used to store milk and infant foods are food contact articles. This page covers metal migration into stored food and distinguishes migration from article content.

Compare values only when the product form, measurement basis, and metal species match.

0 related source records are associated with this category. This is a coverage count, not a measure of scientific confidence. References identify works cited in the text.

Overview

This page is the HMTc Taxonomy v2.2 Category 9 (Infant and Child Contact Products, Ages 0-5), Row 6: Infant food-storage items (milk storage bags/containers). It is the routing destination for source-page declarations of products: [infant-food-storage-items]. A milk-storage bag or container is a food-contact article; its heavy-metal limits are specific migration limits into the stored food (EU Regulation 10/2011 Annex II for plastics, US FDA 21 CFR food-contact provisions) together with the CPSIA total-lead limit for children’s products. The measured quantity is element migration into food, not element content of the article.

Literature scope

The Heavy Metal Index contact-product corpus reports element migration and occurrence in food-contact materials; sources routed to this row are surfaced below as they are added. Until sources land, the literature-evidence sections are deliberately empty rather than guessed. HMTc certification thresholds for products in this row are developed under the certification program at heavymetalcertified.com, not on this public page; this page reports literature evidence and the applicable regulatory caps only.

How standards math uses this page

HMT&C certification thresholds for this row are developed under the certification program at heavymetalcertified.com, not on this page. For this row the certification limit is set by the Method v2.0 government-limit lookup — the strictest credible government specific-migration limit per analyte in the correct basis — not by an occurrence percentile. This public page reports literature evidence only.

Historical recalls and enforcement

Public regulatory events for this row, such as recalls and import alerts, will be listed here as they are catalogued.

Methodology

This page reports what the cited sources say about heavy-metal migration and content in infant food-storage items. Speciation is non-substitutable (contact-product arsenic and mercury limits regulate total element, total arsenic (tAs) and total mercury (tHg); inorganic arsenic and methylmercury have no migration counterpart and are recorded not-material for this matrix). Basis is preserved and never conflated: specific migration into food (mg/kg food) is a different quantity from total-content limits (mg/kg of article), and each is labelled with its basis. Non-detect handling follows each source’s reporting convention.

The applicable regulatory jurisdictions for this row are: FDA (food-contact substances), EU Regulation 10/2011, CPSIA.
