Summary

HappyBABY Superfood Puffs Apple & Broccoli scored 1/100. Inorganic arsenic was detected at 266 ppb (~2.7× FDA limit), with lead at 8.2 ppb right at the action level and cadmium at 11 ppb. USDA Organic, but the rice-flour base drives the heavy-metal load. Apple-juice concentrate for sweetness plus a long synthetic fortification stack.
