https://tamararubin.com/2024/07/lead-safe-mamas-landing-page-for-lab-tested-safer-foods/ <<< This article includes a list of 25 products (foods & supplements) – also linked below – that have tested “non-detect” for Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and Arsenic with independent, 3rd party, crowd-funded, laboratory testing coordinated by Lead Safe Mama, LLC (an Oregon-based small business with a unique community-collaborative business model and a focus on consumer goods safety and childhood Lead poisoning prevention). There are three additional products on this list (for a total of 28) that tested “non-detect” for Lead, but were positive for trace levels of Arsenic (at levels that are considered safe by all standards).
–
This is NOT an exhaustive list of safer foods. Using independent, third party, laboratory testing, we have tested more than 200 popular food and supplement products this year (in 2024) and these 28 examples demonstrate that it is possible for food manufacturers to make safer (toxicant-free) packaged, processed food products (in spite of the industry narrative that this is not possible).
–
Our food landing page (link near the bottom of this post) also has several lists of safer food choices (generally) and guidelines on how to choose safer foods for your family (from a toxicant-concern perspective). To see all of the products we have tested (including the full lab report for each of these products) – click here: https://tamararubin.com/2024/05/links-to-all-of-the-articles-related-to-food-testing-done-by-lead-safe-mama-llc-in-one-place/
