Good Formula Turns Bottle Data Into a Usable Index
A consumer-facing index compares 39 infant formulas using reported levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum.
Field notes
The index translates laboratory results into individual formula report cards, placing detected metals on a shared range rather than reducing them to unexplained star ratings. Its homepage identifies 39 tested formulas, reports detectable lead in 32, and flags four that crossed the strictest federal arsenic benchmark. The cited source is Consumer Reports laboratory testing from March 2025, with the FDA recall archive and site methodology also named. The page advises readers that its information is not medical advice.
