4 tested products of this kind: the middle one is 11 ppb. This one is the highest.
DEP (diethyl phthalate): found in 1 of 2 samples (highest 23.2 ppb). Even at the highest sample, a toddler would need more than 100 kg a day to reach EPA's daily limit; an adult more than 100 kg.
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
under 1% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of a adult's daily limit
