Summary
Lil' Gourmets Indian-Inspired Sweet Potato & Spinach scored 84/100 — the cleanest-tested product in the Lil' Gourmets lineup. Independent batch testing (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab) found lead and mercury below detection (<3 ppb) across all 4 batches; arsenic and cadmium were trace-level (3.1–3.7 ppb) in select batches, all well under both US and EU regulatory limits. Refrigerated, cold-pressure (HPP) processed for nutrition retention. USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Clean Label Project Purity Award. Sweet potato + spinach base with coconut milk for creaminess and a four-spice Indian-inspired blend (cinnamon, coriander, cumin, turmeric).
At a glance
Contaminants 4
Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing
Arsenic up to 3.7 ppb Trace
A trace amount of arsenic — within the range expected from normal soil uptake/processing and below our concern threshold.
Arsenic at up to 3.7 ppb in 2 of 4 tested batches — just above the 3 ppb laboratory detection threshold; well under both the US (no veg limit set) and EU 20 ppb regulatory limits.
Cadmium up to 3.1 ppb Trace
A trace amount of cadmium — within the range expected from normal soil uptake/processing and below our concern threshold.
Cadmium at up to 3.1 ppb in 2 of 4 tested batches — under the ~5 ppb industry target.
Lead <3 ppb Not detected
Not detected — below the laboratory's detection limit. This is the strictest possible result: no measurable amount was found.
Below the laboratory's 3 ppb detection threshold across all 4 tested batches; well under the FDA 10 ppb action level for fruits and vegetables.
Mercury <3 ppb Not detected
Not detected — below the laboratory's detection limit. This is the strictest possible result: no measurable amount was found.
At or below the laboratory's 3 ppb detection threshold across all 4 tested batches.
