The FDA is supposed to protect our babies from toxins in food—but Florida had to do it themselves. And the results are alarming.

In this clip, Del Bigtree and Jefferey Jaxen react to a Florida Department of Health report: The state tested 24 infant formulas, and 16 contained at least one heavy metal (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium) above federal safety standards. Mercury was in all 16 positive samples, with three formulas showing three or more concerning results.

Del: "Was that not what the Food and Drug Administration was supposed to be doing all this time?"

The governor calls it the start of their "Exposing Food Toxins" initiative - independent testing for more products ahead. "We want people to be able to make the best decision for them."

This raises the big question: Why has the federal government failed to test baby formula for heavy metals before it hits shelves? Florida is stepping up where the FDA has fallen short, and it's a wake-up call for every parent. Mom's Across America started a relay, and Florida is grabbing the torch.

Watch the full reaction below. If this doesn't make you demand real oversight, what will?
