This is a partly abbreviated list of all the 61 foods and supplements Lead Safe Mama, LLC sent to the lab for testing in October 2024. Funding for this testing is a community collaborative effort (Lead Safe Mama community members nominate the products and contribute to covering the cost of testing and reporting on each).

We expect to have published the lab reports for all of the foods and supplements listed below in November 2024. We will link the additional reports here once published.

The listing below is in alphabetical order by product name (some exceptions: Costco products are under “C,” not K for Kirkland, and Whole Foods/365 products are under “W”). We will also be writing out the full and exact product name as time permits when updating this list.
