CA AB899

Requires baby food manufacturers to test a representative sample of each production batch for toxic elements (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury) at least once per month at an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, beginning January 1, 2024.

Mandates manufacturers of baby food products sold in California on and after January 1, 2025 to publicly disclose on their website the name and level of each toxic element present in each production batch for the duration of the product shelf life plus one month.

Requires manufacturers to include a QR code on product labels that links to test results and FDA guidance for toxic elements subject to FDA action levels, regulatory limits, or tolerances, with the statement "For information about toxic element testing on this product, scan the QR code."

Prohibits the sale, manufacture, delivery, holding, or offering for sale of any baby food in California that does not comply with these testing and disclosure requirements, making violations punishable as a crime.

Establishes that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts because costs stem from creation of a new crime under the California Constitution.
