While I haven’t fed any of these to my child, I have used organic cassava flour in recipes and apparently that’s also high in lead?! It makes it really challenging to know how to feed your child, especially when you are trying very hard to choose the healthiest options, which may end up not being so healthy. How is a consumer to know?!
I saw that too. More independent testing needs to be done but Lesser Evil is doing the right thing and phasing cassava out because the soil is too high in lead.
Oh man. So helpful Mia! Health washing is real. It has gotten so complicated to judge a food or brand by its packaging these days. Knowledge is power and now we know! Thanks to you ❤️
