FDA's Closer to Zero public meeting recording available
A recording of the public meeting “Closer to Zero Action Plan: Impacts of Toxic Element Exposure and Nutrition at Different Crucial Developmental Stages” is now available on the FDA’s Meeting Page. This meeting is the first of several expected on the Closer to Zero (C2Z) action plan to receive stakeholder input.
The agency’s plan identifies actions they will take to reduce exposure to toxic elements from foods eaten by babies and young children—to as low as possible. They have prioritized babies and young children because their smaller body sizes and metabolism make them more vulnerable to the harmful effects of these contaminants.
