Summary
Gerber Diced Carrots Veggie Pick-Ups scored 53/100. Testing detected cadmium at 27.7 ppb (>5× industry target) and lead at 11.8 ppb (over the FDA 10 ppb action level for fruits and vegetables). Marketed for 'Crawler' 10+ months as a self-feeding finger food with 'no added salt, starch, or preservatives' — but the carrot base carries elevated soil-borne heavy metals.
