WARNING: Lead in Canned Fruits and Juice Boxes

The newest food warning study came out this week - beware of juice boxes and canned fruit.  The Environmental Law Foundation tested products marketed towards children for lead.  The results showed that 85% of products tested contained enough lead in one serving to require a warning label under California law.  What's even more concerning is that brands like Earth's Best, 365 Organic and Trader Joe's were equally guilty.  Henry has never had juice boxes or canned fruit, but I'm still currently resisting paranoia-city.
