Independent third-party testing.

Cadmium
6.8 ppb
Low

A low level of cadmium — present but modest; a sourcing-quality note rather than a safety concern at typical intake.

Independent third-party testing.

Key ingredients 1

Carrots
Good

Single-ingredient puree — beta-carotene, vitamin A, and fiber. Root vegetables naturally absorb cadmium and lead from soil.
