Popularity of baby foods and infant formula is increasing day by day as they are easy to use and claim to be very nutritive for babies. The safety of these products should be checked before introducing them to the market. Many contaminants are a challenge to food safety and can enter the food chain at any stage of manufacturing from raw material to finished food product. The contamination of food can also be caused by food additives like flavoring agents, preservatives, food colors etc. It has been indicated by many studies that flavoring agents and food additives like acrylamide, azodicarbonamide, semicarbazide, MSG etc are causing serious toxicity among the kids. Bisphenol A found on plastic packaging and metal cans as coating has been shown to migrate into the food inside. It is a known genotoxic and carcinogenic compound. Many toxins like mycotoxins, plant toxins and microbial toxins have been detected in the baby foods which come from vegetables and fruits used during their preparation. Microbial junk has also been detected in baby food which can be very harmful for the babies. The purpose of this review is to highlight the ingredients and contaminants which might harm the baby and cause serious health issues.
