12 Aug 2021 --- The EU is heightening its food safety regulations for baby formula and food, vegetables, fruit, cereals, meat, fish and other produce, which will be screened against stricter limits of cadmium and lead content before they are released on the market. Cadmium and lead are toxic metals found naturally in trace amounts in a lot of soil, which are taken up mostly by root in vegetables and fruits. They are present across various food items, but not considered dangerous for human health when consumed below certain limits.
