Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing
Lead 29.3 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 29.3 ppb — nearly 3× the FDA 10 ppb action level. No safe level of lead for infants.
Independent third-party testing.
Cadmium 5.8 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.
Arsenic 3.9 ppb Trace
A trace amount of arsenic — within the range expected from normal soil uptake/processing and below our concern threshold.
