The maker's own tests come from California's baby-food disclosure law (AB 899). The compiled dataset we use leaves out many lots where nothing was detected (it keeps some reported as zero), so this summary can look worse than the maker's full record. 8 lot codes on file.

ppb = parts per billion. "Below the lab's limit" means the lab could not measure it reliably, not that it is absent.
