Lab results for this product
Measured in this product PlasticList (2024-07-21)
- DEHP: found in 1 of 3 samples (highest 10 ppb).
Even at the highest sample, a toddler would need about 30 kg (66 lb) a day to reach EPA's daily limit; an adult more than 100 kg.
11 tested products of this kind: the middle one is below the lab's limit. This one is higher than about 40% of them.One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):under 1% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of a adult's daily limit
- DEHA: found in 1 of 3 samples (highest 10 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.
11 tested products of this kind: the middle one is below the lab's limit. This one is higher than about 60% of them.One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):under 1% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of a adult's daily limit
Not found above the lab's limit: DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate), 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), 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.
Typical for pre-packaged fruit & vegetables
FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.
- Cadmium: typically 18.5 ppb (FDA, 108 samples, 2017-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 700 g (25 oz) a day; an adult at about 3.3 kg (7.3 lb).One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):14% of a toddler's daily limit3% of a adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 2.13 ppb (FDA, 108 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
- Perchlorate: typically 5 ppb (FDA, 80 samples, 2008-2012).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 890 g (31 oz) a day; an adult at about 4.2 kg (9.3 lb).One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):11% of a toddler's daily limit2% of a adult's daily limit
- Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

"Typically" is FDA's middle sample. Daily amounts use the long-run average and each chemical's daily limit (EPA reference dose, or FDA's level for lead) for a 33-lb toddler and a 154-lb adult. ppb = micrograms per kilogram of food. Source: FDA Total Diet Study.
