Lead in Children's Juice and Packaged Fruit!

The Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) and environmental non-profit in the Bay Area, enlisted the help of the EPA and found out that many juice boxes and packaged fruit contain lead! Even your favorites from Whole Foods and Trader Joes.

The study focused on drinks and foods for children and babies, and for this age group there are no "safe" levels of lead.
