Children’s dietary practices and patterns are often less varied than adults and may potentially result in higher exposure to food borne contaminants. Scope: This review sought to identify chemical contaminants in children’s foods that pose the most concern to children’s overall health. Exposure to contaminants in children’s diets depends on types of foods eaten, consumption frequency, and the amount consumed. The Environmental Protection Agency’s Food Commodity Intake Database (FCID) recipes were used to determine the amount of each commodity ingredient in the National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES) foods for ages 0-13. Foods collected for the Total Diet Study (TDS) were also examined since TDS foods represent one or more NHANES foods and are considered major components of the average diet. Results: With the exclusion of breast milk and formula, the top FCID food commodities for ages 0-13 are apple juice, apples, milk, rice, wheat, oat, potato, grape juice, orange juice, snap beans, corn, and carrots. Preliminary results revealed that of the 30 TDS foods chosen for this analysis, positive detections included arsenic (25/30), cadmium (24/30), lead (16/30), and chromium (14/30). The next step in analysis will be reviewing data from the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) to determine the amount of pesticide residues on agricultural commodities. Evaluating the available databases and scientific literature to determine which chemical contaminants in children’s foods pose the most health concern(s) is essential to taking prevention-based action and can inform future US FDA initiatives.
