by the way, talking about arsenic in baby food, here is the reply from AVA:
I refer to your enquiry sent to AVA on 12 Apr 2011.
Metals such as arsenic, lead and cadmium are naturally-occurring contaminants in the environment, being present in the soil, water and air. These metals become incorporated into plants and other food sources. It is not possible to eliminate them during food processing and ingestion through food is unavoidable.
The Food Regulations do stipulate maximum limits for arsenic, lead and cadmium in infant food. These limits are set at the lowest possible level to protect consumers’ (namely infants’) health, while at the same time, technologically achievable by the industry.
Regular surveillance of the infant food available on the Singapore market reveals that such products do comply with the Food Regulations. In fact the levels present in these infant foods (such as infant cereals) are generally below the legal limits or not detected. We would like to assure you that infant food sold in Singapore are safe for consumption.
AVA will continue to closely monitor international developments on the matter and will revise our limits for these metals, if necessary, to safeguard consumer health.
