Contaminants 3

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.

Independent third-party testing.
