Quick note from Tamara Rubin: We were not at all surprised to learn this Clif Bar product tested positive for toxicants (see the full lab report for the product at the bottom of this page). The primary reason we anticipated this Chocolate Chip Clif Bar would test positive for toxicants is because the two…
Quick note from Tamara Rubin: We were really surprised to see the ingredient list for this product when we purchased it for testing (we had not heard of the product before it was nominated by a Lead Safe Mama community member for testing). The product is clearly advertised and sold as “Quinoa Pasta,” but…
Quick note from Tamara Rubin: Unsurprisingly, this product tested positive for Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic. We have not yet tested a single protein powder that has come back from the lab with a report stating it was “non-detect” for toxicants. We also have not yet tested a single (brown) chocolate product that has tested…
Quick note from Tamara Rubin: This is a particularly disappointing discovery. We (as a family) really hoped this product would test clean. This exact cereal had been a dietary staple for one of my disabled sons (who has special dietary needs) and he will no longer be eating this product. We’re sticking with homemade…
Quick note from Tamara Rubin: As previously published, we have not yet found a potato chip snack product that has tested negative (non-detect) for Cadmium (a known carcinogen). As you can see from the aggregate data graphic below, each of the potato chip products we have tested resulted positive for an UNSAFE level of…

Quick note from Tamara Rubin: I have been informing readers about the concern for toxicants in this particular product for more than five years now, prompted initially when I was house-sitting for my friend Carissa and saw this product on the counter in her kitchen and decided to test the jar for toxicants using…
Quick note from Tamara Rubin: Most of the Halloween-type candies we have tested have come back positive for very high levels of Cadmium, in addition to many also testing positive for concerning levels of Lead and Arsenic. Cadmium has been documented as a known carcinogen for more than three decades. While some parents might…

Quick note from Tamara Rubin: Given the Arsenic and Cadmium levels found in this product (through community-funded, third-party, independent laboratory testing), the product should not be considered safe for children to eat. While the levels found for Arsenic in this case is the “total Arsenic” (meaning we do not know what percentage is organic Arsenic…

Quick note from Tamara Rubin: Given the Cadmium level found in this product (through community-funded, third-party, independent laboratory testing), the product should not be considered safe for children to eat. Please see more information below. The low threshold of detection for metals for this product was 10 parts per billion. As a result, more…
Quick note from Tamara Rubin: While the amount of Lead found in this supplement product is relatively low (compared to Lead levels we have found in similar products), it is the position of Lead Safe Mama, LLC that vitamins and supplements should not test positive for Lead at levels above 2 parts per billion…
