Ingredients

Commodity profiles describe metal occurrence, accumulation, processing and mitigation in food ingredients. The directory groups ingredients by commodity type and links to their profiles.

Overview

Commodity-level pages describe why specific ingredients accumulate specific metals, typical concentration ranges by source and variety, processing effects, and mitigation options. Each page carries a structured contamination profile in frontmatter that the future consumer app will consume directly. Ingredient-level values belong on these pages; finished-product values belong on product-category pages.

Full index

Ingredients are grouped by commodity type. Each group links to a category page listing every ingredient in it alphabetically, with the number of curated sources behind each entry. A low or zero count marks an evidence gap, not an error.
