I will not eat mussels again. These shells were positive for 14,000 ppb Cadmium. Food is toxic at levels below 100 ppb.

#AskTamara: Do natural shells have Lead? Are they safe for kids to play with (as far as being non-toxic)?

#AskTamara: Shellfish can have high Lead (as a food), but do clam shells have an unsafe level of Lead? Are they safe for kids?
