The above chart can be saved to your desktop or to your phone by either dragging it to your desktop or by clicking on it and choosing save image.  We thought it would be helpful for our readership to have access to these comparative test results in a handy chart across the Whole Foods brand. We have published quite a few of these comparative charts to date — some “product type” specific, and some brand specific. You can find all of our comparative charts by clicking this link.

Relative to the Whole Foods Products included above, we have also already published comparative charts with laboratory testing results for the following categories – that include some of the products show in the chart above (with more in the queue, to be published shortly):

  1. Flour Products
  2. Nuts and Seed Products
  3. Cinnamons: Sticks and Powders (organic and conventional)
  4. Cocoa Powders
  5. & Potato Chips
It’s important to take a moment here to reiterate that all federal agencies agree with the scientific and medical communities’ consensus that there is no safe level of Lead exposure for human beings. With that in mind, we hope that these charts (and the linked lab reports, product assessments, and other information we provide) will help you to make informed safer choices for your families (whatever that means for you). You can also use this information to advocate for the manufacturers of these products to clean them up — to grow / manufacture/ & sell  safer choices for everyone. “Vote” with your dollars, and please consider avoiding purchasing Lead-contaminated products. Thank you.  
 
If you would like more information on how the food supply is contaminated with heavy metals, please consider watching our documentary film on childhood Lead poisoning prevention (it is pinned to one of the circles / buttons at the top of this page). The film is available to watch for free and is a crash course on the issue. It is 92 minutes long, and is appropriate for teenagers as well.

Each article includes the full original lab report at the very bottom of the article – below the sharable social media graphic and below our list of Lab-tested safer choices. Thank you!

    1. No.

      Different product types require that different amounts of product are sent in.

      Different labs also have different requirements for material quantity for testing.

      The parts per billion (ppb) results apply to any amount of a product (a pound, an ounce, a gram – the ppb value is the same). PPB should be seen as a percentage.
