Summary

Beech-Nut Classics Sweet Carrots Stage 2 scored 12/100. Testing detected lead at 27.2 ppb — nearly 3× the FDA 10 ppb action level for fruits and vegetables — and cadmium at 6.8 ppb, modestly over target. Non-GMO and single-ingredient carrot puree with no added water, but the soil-borne lead contamination is significant given this is marketed to 6-month-old infants.

Contaminants 2

Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing

Lead
27.2 ppb
High

Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Lead at 27.2 ppb — nearly 3× the FDA 10 ppb action level for fruits and vegetables. No safe level of lead for infants.

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.
