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.

FDA samples behind these numbers
  • Lead in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 0 of 1, all below 4 ppb (2020)
  • Lead in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1, all below 4 ppb (2020)
  • Lead in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Cadmium in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 1 of 1, average 1.3, highest 1.3 ppb (2020)
  • Cadmium in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 1 of 1, average 1.5, highest 1.5 ppb (2020)
  • Cadmium in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 3 of 3, average 5.07, highest 6.7 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Mercury in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 0 of 1, all below 1 ppb (2020)
  • Mercury in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1, all below 1 ppb (2020)
  • Mercury in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 1 of 1, average 4.9, highest 4.9 ppb (2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1, all below 3 ppb (2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3, all below 3 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Perchlorate in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 10 of 20, 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.
