Published: October 8, 2025
A Quick Note from Tamara Rubin:

We tested the “Natural Peppermint” flavor of this EWG Verified Davids Toothpaste product several months ago (see the February 2025, lab report here), however the lab we were using at the time had a very high low-threshold of detection for some metals.

This means that while testing results for the first flavor (Natural Peppermint) revealed that one or more ingredients used by this brand are definitely contaminated with a combination of Lead and Arsenic, we couldn’t be certain about whether or not Cadmium and Mercury were toxicant concerns for this brand without additional testing.

All we could gather from the first test was that the levels of these two toxicants (Cadmium and Mercury) were “less than 25 parts per billion,” but beyond that we could not know if these toxicants were not present at all or if they might be present but at lower levels than the testing threshold (up to 24 ppb, which is arguably still a concerning level of Mercury and Cadmium in toothpaste, despite being very low levels). 

Question: How much Mercury do YOU want in your toothpaste? Is that a compromise you are willing to make?

The Concern for “EWG Verified” Toxicant Contaminated Products

• Davids Toothpaste is an EWG Verified toothpaste product (at least several of the products in the Davids brand seem to be on the EWG Verified list).
• Lead Safe Mama, LLC is actively trying to find an organization that may be interested in suing EWG on behalf of the public in order to see EWG stop its egregious and persistent actions, giving heavily toxicant contaminated products (like this Davids Toothpaste) the organization’s top (bought and paid for) “EWG Verified” badge — alongside other top ratings.
• EWG has continually given contaminated products high ratings (including their EWG Verified badge) in spite of EWG’s direct knowledge of these contamination concerns, which have repeatedly been brought to their attention by Lead Safe Mama, LLC, over the past couple of years:
  • We have written articles about this issue (which we then shared with the EWG and people in the EWG community).
  • We have exchanged emails, phone calls, and even had Zoom meetings with EWG’s staff, board of directors, and funding agency representatives (who grant funds to EWG) about these issues.
• Yet, despite the above communications (which we have fairly well-documented), the EWG has taken no action to address this issue (like removing these certifications and top ratings from known contaminated products). You can see a partial list of those products at this link.
• Given all the above considerations, we felt it prudent to retest a product from this brand through the new lab we are using, which has a more specific (lower) low-threshold of detection in the analysis they conduct for us (compared to the previous lab we were using).
  • We wanted to see if, in fact, Davids Toothpaste also tests positive for Mercury and Cadmium, which is the case with many other toothpastes that contain similar ingredient profiles.
  • Somehow, an EWG Verified toothpaste that tests positive for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic seemed like it might (finally) generate a reasonable response from the EWG — so we really wanted to find out more about these two metals that the previous testing did not have a low enough threshold of detection for.

You can see our comparative chart of toothpaste test results at this link.

Not all of our toothpaste lab reports are listed in the chart yet (we will be updating it soon), but out of the 51 products currently listed, Davids tested positive for a higher level of Lead than 44 of the other products we’d tested and reported on at the time of publishing that chart.

The new lab we are using tested the Natural Orange Vanilla version of this product. This new lab report showed that the product tested positive for notable levels of all four heavy metals that we assess: Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic. The levels of toxicants found matched the previous testing conducted on the Natural Peppermint product, within a reasonable batch-specific variation range.

We had anticipated the Natural Orange Vanilla Davids Toothpaste might have similar test results to the Natural Peppermint flavored toothpaste from this brand, which we tested earlier this year. NOTE: We expect ALL flavors from this brand to likely test similarly. If Davids has a natural cinnamon, or natural chocolate flavored toothpaste (which some brands do), there’s a chance that products with those flavors could have higher toxicant levels — but otherwise the ingredient profile for most of Davids Toothpaste products seem to be the same or similar (with only minor flavor variations), and we don’t expect any other flavors from this brand to test significantly differently than those we have already tested (within the range presented by these two examples).

VERY IMPORTANT — to repeat what we have said in previous articles: 

While the levels of heavy metal toxicants found in the toothpaste products from this brand (the examples we have tested to date) is concerning — and likely dangerous from a long-term health perspective given all federal agencies agree with the scientific and medical communities’ consensus that there is no safe level of Lead exposure for human beings — the levels of toxicants found are considered completely legal by all currently relevant, legally enforceable standards (which are minimal, at best).

The fact that the levels of toxicants found in this toothpaste are legal is a problem.

Outside of concerns for the blatant greenwashing imparted with the “EWG Verified” award, it is a huge issue that the FDA allows up to 10,000 ppb (10 ppm) Lead in non-fluoride toothpastes.

It is a problem that the FDA does not have any clear set regulatory limits for Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic levels in toothpaste. We need to fix this. We should NOT have to be concerned about the potential cumulative impacts over a lifetime of being exposed to “just a little bit of poison” — orally — ever single day of our life, twice or more a day, when we brush our teeth.

• This seems to be a pretty straightforward problem that the industry needs to address.
• Calcium Carbonate is generally likely contaminated with Lead and other toxicants.
• Hydroxyapatite is also consistently contaminated (based on the testing we have completed to date).
• Hydrated Silica appears to be a potentially heavy-metals-contaminated ingredient, too (based on testing we have conducted to date on more than 70 toothpaste and tooth powder products).
• And Bentonite Clay, of course (unrelated to the Davids Toothpaste products), is heavily contaminated with toxicants and should never be used in any product intended for oral purposes. 
• Toothpaste manufacturers should be required (by our federal regulatory agencies) to cease using these contaminated or potentially contaminated ingredients (most of which are mined minerals) until uncontaminated alternatives can be found.
• This is not rocket science!
  • A total of EIGHT toothpaste products to date have come back from the lab with “non-detect” (effectively negative) results for Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, and Mercury.
  • This includes both fluoride and fluoride-free toothpaste options.
  • With these eight examples, the industry has demonstrated that it is possible to make cleaner (non-heavy-metals-contaminated) toothpaste options, and we as consumers must demand this change.

Who paid for the testing and reporting on this product?

Testing and reporting for this product did not fund, but given we felt an urgent need to retest this brand (for more accurate results from a lab with a lower threshold of detection for all metals), we sent it in for testing anyway. We could really use your support in covering the costs of testing and reporting for this product. If you are in a position to do so, please see our crowdfunding links below.

A “spacer graphic” like the one above can be found in each of our articles that include the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Lab-Tested Safer Choices List. The graphic differs depending on which version of the list is below it. The Pumpkin graphic above is our newest spacer for the October 2025 update of this Lab-Tested Safer Choices List. If the graphic is different when you see this list in any article (a sun, leaf, rainbow, flower, heart, Christmas ornament, or shamrock), that means it is an earlier version of the Lab-Tested Safer Choices List.

While the date of the list (the date of the last update) is included in the text below it, we also wanted to introduce the visual tool that we use to identify the latest version of our lab-tested safer choices list. Lead Safe Mama team members strive to update the list with the current spacer graphic on all older articles, indicating that the most recent list of safer choices is below. However, they may not have had a chance to update every copy yet. Please be patient! Thank you.

• The product examples below clearly demonstrate that companies can manufacture safer choices (at least from the perspective of concerns for heavy metals contamination).
• The limits of detection (low-threshold of detection) for each of the metals tested are noted in the lab report for each specific product. To see the full, original lab report for any of these products, type the brand or product name into the search bar at the top of any page on Lead Safe Mama dot com and scroll down to the bottom of the related article. The original lab report can always be found at the very bottom of each related article. Most of our published lab reports are also linked here, on our lab testing landing page.
  • This landing page is updated weekly (most weeks), and is a good page to bookmark and check back on periodically if you want the latest test results.
• Flavors (or specific variations) tested are noted in the list below (and on all of our related articles). Other variations of the same product (or other products from the same brand) have either not been tested or have been tested but did not yield similar results.
  • Test results only apply to the specific products listed and linked below.
  • Test results are PRODUCT SPECIFIC, not BRAND SPECIFIC.
    • One should never assume that all products from a specific brand are clean just because one or more products from that specific brand came back with clean test results.

Products on our “safer choices” list are retested periodically (annually or more frequently, as funding permits). If a product no longer tests clean (non-detect for all, or safe-by-all standards) with a second round of lab analysis, it is removed from the list. If you have questions about a product that was removed from this list, please use the search bar at the top of the page to see more on that product, including its most recent test results.

Products Removed from the Above “Lab-Tested Safer Choices” List

The following three products were previously on the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Lab-Tested Safer Choices List, but were removed after 2025 retesting found toxicants present. 

In each case (for the three products noted below), the retests detected very low levels of toxicants — consistent with the idea that these products are still relatively cleaner choices compared to similar items in their categories. However — even though these products could still be classified as “cleaner” — we only include products on the list above if the most recent lab results for that product show non-detect levels for all four metals we test for (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic). So while these three products tested positive for very low levels of toxicants with the most recent round of lab testing, they no longer meet our standards for remaining on our Lab-Tested Safer Choices List.

You can read more about these products and see the most recent lab test results for each in the articles linked below (new lab reports will be published shortly):

1. One Degree Organics Sprouted Rolled Oats, yellow bag (Made in Canada) — May 2025 Retest
2. Jovial Organic All-Purpose Einkorn Flour (Made in Italy) — 2025 Retest Lab Report to be Published Shortly
3. DeathWish Ground Coffee, Espresso Roast — 2025 Retest Lab Report to be Published Shortly
