Partially hydrogenated oils
- US (FDA): Authorization revoked FDA determined in 2015 that they are no longer generally recognized as safe; makers had to remove them, with final compliance dates in 2018-2020. Labels on file may predate that. (80 FR 34650 (2015)) Source
- Texas: Warning label required from 2027-01-01 Labels developed on or after January 1, 2027 must warn that the product contains an ingredient not recommended for consumption in Australia, Canada, the EU or the UK. (SB 25 (2025)) Source

Typical for vegetable and lentil mixes
FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.
- Cadmium: typically 3.2 ppb (FDA, 5 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) a day; an adult at about 19 kg (42 lb).One serving (1 oz, 28 g, from the label):under 1% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of an adult's daily limit
- Lead, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
FDA samples behind these numbers
- Lead in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 4 ppb (2020)
- Lead in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 4 ppb (2020)
- Lead in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
- Cadmium in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 1.3, highest 1.3 ppb (2020)
- Cadmium in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 1.5, highest 1.5 ppb (2020)
- Cadmium in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 5.07, highest 6.7 ppb (2018-2020)
- Mercury in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 1 ppb (2020)
- Mercury in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 1 ppb (2020)
- Mercury in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 4.9, highest 4.9 ppb (2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 3 ppb (2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 3 ppb (2018-2020)
- Perchlorate in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 10 of 20 samples, average 1.23, highest 6 ppb (2008-2012)
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.
Not tested
No published results for this product cover: Metals, Perchlorate, Phthalates (plastic softeners), Phthalate substitutes, Bisphenols. That means nobody has published a test, not that these are absent.
