Rice Cereal: questions answered
From Gerber's published specs, last checked 2026-11-11.
What's in the Gerber Rice Cereal?
rice flour, soy lecithin, potassium phosphate, calcium carbonate, ferrous fumarate, ascorbic acid, zinc sulfate, alpha tocopheryl acetate, niacinamide, riboflavin, thiamin mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin B12, folic acid, per the maker. The label says it contains soy.
Does the maker test the Gerber Rice Cereal for heavy metals?
We didn't find a testing statement from the maker. The FDA has final guidance on lead in processed foods for babies and young children and tips on food choices for babies. We don't rate brands on heavy metals; where a maker publishes its own testing, we link it.
Which grains are best for babies?
See the AAP's Starting Solid Foods page. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
