Lab results for this product

Measured in this product PlasticList (2024)

DEHP: 17 ppb (found in 2 of 2, highest 18). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 18 kg (40 lb) a day of this; an adult at about 82 kg (180 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
under 1% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of a adult's daily limit

Not found above the lab's limit: BBP (benzyl butyl phthalate), DIBP (diisobutyl phthalate), DEP (diethyl phthalate), DMP (dimethyl phthalate), DINP (diisononyl phthalate), DNOP (di-n-octyl phthalate), DCHP (dicyclohexyl phthalate), DNHP (di-n-hexyl phthalate), DIDP (diisodecyl phthalate), DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate), DEHA, DINCH, DIDA (diisodecyl adipate), DEHT (DOTP), BPS (bisphenol S), BPF (bisphenol F), BPA (bisphenol A).

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