Aluminium levels in milk and infant formulae
MJ Baxter, JA Burrell, H Crews… - Food Additives & …, 1991 - Taylor & Francis
Aluminium levels in infant formulae purchased in 1990 and prepared as for consumption
were in the range 530 μg/l to 640 μg/l for soya‐based products and 27 μg/l to 120 μg/l for
cows' milk‐based formulae. Mean aluminium concentrations in these soya and cows' milk‐
based samples were, on average, 37% and 45% lower, respectively, than those of the same
brands purchased between 1985 and 1987. Levels of aluminium in breast milk were in the
range 3 μg/l to 79 μg/l. In the case of retail cows' milk, values ranged from 4 μg/l to 33 μg/l …
