The maker's own tests come from California's baby-food disclosure law (AB 899). The compiled dataset we use leaves out many lots where nothing was detected (it keeps some reported as zero), so this summary can look worse than the maker's full record. 16 lot codes on file.

ppb = parts per billion. "Below the lab's limit" means the lab could not measure it reliably, not that it is absent.

Typical for baby food and drinks

FDA's averages for this kind of food (this product has its own lab results above)

What FDA found when it bought and tested this kind of food across the US. These are not tests of this product.

Cadmium: typically 10.6 ppb (FDA, 24 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.3 kg (2.9 lb) a day; an adult at about 5.8 kg (13 lb).
Lead, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

Left out of the summary above: Perchlorate. FDA measured it in only some of these foods, so the result describes those foods, not the whole kind.

"Typically" is FDA's middle sample. Daily amounts use the long-run average and each chemical's daily limit (EPA reference dose, or FDA's level for lead) for a 33-lb toddler and a 154-lb adult. ppb = micrograms per kilogram of food. Source: FDA Total Diet Study.
