For a buyer the practical points are the form bought, the basis a result is reported on, where the breastmilk came from and the laboratory’s reporting limit. Testing finds contamination but does not remove it.

What counts as breastmilk

This page covers breastmilk, as sold (1,008 results).1World Health Organization · 2026GEMS/Food Contaminants database heavy-metal exportsGEMS/Food Contamination Monitoring and Assessment ProgrammeRead source →2Agnieszka Bzikowska-Jura, Aleksandra Wesolowska, Piotr Sobieraj, Agnieszka Nawrocka, Aleksandra Filipek, Maciej Durkalec, Danuta Katrynska, Piotr Jedziniak · 2024Essential and non-essential element concentrations in human milk samples and the assessment of infants’ exposureScientific Reports 14:8140Read source →3Chen C, Ma C, Li Q, Hang JG, Shen J, Nakayama SF, Kido T, Lin Y, Feng H, Jung CR, Sun XL, Lou J · 2023Prenatal Exposure to Heavy Metals and Adverse Birth Outcomes: Evidence From an E-Waste Area in ChinaGeoHealthRead source →4Di Gangi, Joseph · 1997Lead and Cadmium in Vinyl Children’s Products: A Greenpeace ExposéGreenpeace USA (Washington, DC); ERIC document ED 414 034 / PS 026 006Read source →5Freire C, Iribarne-Durán L M, Gil F, Olmedo P, Serrano-López L, Peña-Caballero M, Hurtado J-A, Alvarado-González N E, Fernández M F, Peinado F M, Artacho-Cordón F, Olea N · 2022Concentrations and determinants of lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic in pooled donor breast milk in SpainInternational Journal of Hygiene and Environmental HealthRead source →6Borhan Mansouri, Nammam Ali Azadi, Kiomars Sharafi, Samaneh Nakhaee · 2023The effects of active and passive smoking on selected trace element levels in human milkScientific Reports 13:20756Read source →

Results stay on the basis each source reports: as sold or fresh weight, dry weight, or unstated. Dry-weight, as-sold and unstated results are never pooled, and no moisture conversion is applied.

Heavy metal contamination profile of breastmilk

The table holds every extracted breastmilk result: one row for each statistic a source reports for a form, group and metal, 1,008 rows in all, grouped by metal and form; percentiles, ranges and maxima for the same samples as a mean or median are shown on that row.1World Health Organization · 2026GEMS/Food Contaminants database heavy-metal exportsGEMS/Food Contamination Monitoring and Assessment ProgrammeRead source →2Agnieszka Bzikowska-Jura, Aleksandra Wesolowska, Piotr Sobieraj, Agnieszka Nawrocka, Aleksandra Filipek, Maciej Durkalec, Danuta Katrynska, Piotr Jedziniak · 2024Essential and non-essential element concentrations in human milk samples and the assessment of infants’ exposureScientific Reports 14:8140Read source →3Chen C, Ma C, Li Q, Hang JG, Shen J, Nakayama SF, Kido T, Lin Y, Feng H, Jung CR, Sun XL, Lou J · 2023Prenatal Exposure to Heavy Metals and Adverse Birth Outcomes: Evidence From an E-Waste Area in ChinaGeoHealthRead source →4Di Gangi, Joseph · 1997Lead and Cadmium in Vinyl Children’s Products: A Greenpeace ExposéGreenpeace USA (Washington, DC); ERIC document ED 414 034 / PS 026 006Read source →5Freire C, Iribarne-Durán L M, Gil F, Olmedo P, Serrano-López L, Peña-Caballero M, Hurtado J-A, Alvarado-González N E, Fernández M F, Peinado F M, Artacho-Cordón F, Olea N · 2022Concentrations and determinants of lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic in pooled donor breast milk in SpainInternational Journal of Hygiene and Environmental HealthRead source →6Borhan Mansouri, Nammam Ali Azadi, Kiomars Sharafi, Samaneh Nakhaee · 2023The effects of active and passive smoking on selected trace element levels in human milkScientific Reports 13:20756Read source → Monitoring medians are HMI calculations from individual submissions; non-detects remain intervals between zero and the reporting limit and are never read as zero.1World Health Organization · 2026GEMS/Food Contaminants database heavy-metal exportsGEMS/Food Contamination Monitoring and Assessment ProgrammeRead source →

Comparison methods and scope

Each row is one statistic a source reports for one form of breastmilk, group and metal; percentiles, ranges and maxima reported for the same samples as a mean or median are shown on that row. Different forms and preparation states are kept apart, and dry-weight results never share a reference with as-sold or fresh-weight results. Ratings place a result against an HMI reference built from monitoring results and ordinary-setting medians for the same form and basis. Same-study contrasts compare a contaminated or treated site with its control, targeted with random sampling, a prepared form with the unprocessed one, or one group of a study with the median of its other groups. Held rows failed a check against their own source and are shown but not compared.

Contributing familyReference unitsWeight
Di Gangi 19971100%

Methods

HMI pools subgroup medians for breastmilk, as sold on a as sold, as eaten or fresh weight basis: monitoring results summarized as one median per reporting region, sampling type and collection year, total diet composites and printed sample values as single observations, and printed subgroup medians from ordinary farms or markets. Each sampling family has equal total weight. Non-detects stay as zero-to-limit intervals, so quartiles carry lower and upper bounds. Means, ranges and maxima never enter as observations. Other forms, other bases, targeted sampling and results from mining, industrial, wastewater-affected, experimental, fertiliser or manufacturer settings are kept out of this reference.

Inverse weighted empirical CDF; midpoint at exact cumulative-weight boundaries. At least four reference units and a definitely positive Q1 to Q3 spread are required. This is a display eligibility rule, not statistical validation.

Limitations

Di Gangi 1997 is the only compatible sampling family for breastmilk, as sold on this basis in the completed breastmilk ledger, so this single-family reference cannot represent other markets. Reporting regions and purchase markets are not growing areas. Non-detects with differing limits widen the bounds. A position is descriptive concentration, not a safety or compliance judgment.

Methods

HMI pools subgroup medians for breastmilk, as sold on a as sold, as eaten or fresh weight basis: monitoring results summarized as one median per reporting region, sampling type and collection year, total diet composites and printed sample values as single observations, and printed subgroup medians from ordinary farms or markets. Each sampling family has equal total weight. Non-detects stay as zero-to-limit intervals, so quartiles carry lower and upper bounds. Means, ranges and maxima never enter as observations. Other forms, other bases, targeted sampling and results from mining, industrial, wastewater-affected, experimental, fertiliser or manufacturer settings are kept out of this reference.

Inverse weighted empirical CDF; midpoint at exact cumulative-weight boundaries. At least four reference units and a definitely positive Q1 to Q3 spread are required. This is a display eligibility rule, not statistical validation.

Limitations

Beyene et al. 2023 is the only compatible sampling family for breastmilk, as sold on this basis in the completed breastmilk ledger, so this single-family reference cannot represent other markets. Reporting regions and purchase markets are not growing areas. Non-detects with differing limits widen the bounds. A position is descriptive concentration, not a safety or compliance judgment.

How metals reach breastmilk

No study in the library compared breastmilk from contaminated and ordinary settings, so the routes by which metals reach it are not measured here.

Which forms and regions measured lower

The HMI reference for Cu in breastmilk, as sold pools 4 subgroup units from 1 sampling family, with a median of 555 µg/kg and a middle half spanning 450 (lower quartile) and 615 µg/kg (upper quartile).9Tesfalidet Beyene, Graeme R.

Processing, cooking and preparation

No processing study for metals in this food is in the library yet.

Mitigation for breastmilk

Lot testing against the applicable limit is the check that can be verified.

No measured way to lower metals in this food is in the library yet.

Trade-offs and limits of controls

Metals do not move together, so a lot that passes a lead limit says little about cadmium, arsenic or nickel unless those are tested as well.

Testing breastmilk for metals

Results depend on the method and its reporting limit.

A useful lot result names the form, the basis and a quantification limit well below the limit that applies.

Buying and verifying breastmilk

No maximum level for metals in breastmilk was verified from primary text for this page; buyers should confirm the limit that applies in the destination market.

Exposure from breastmilk

No source in the library converted breastmilk concentrations into a verified estimate of intake for a defined population. Concentrations describe the food, not individual risk.

Evidence review and remaining gaps

Every source record that names breastmilk was decided on its content: 17 occurrence extracted, 17 records in all. The occurrence table renders every extracted result; held values remain visible with their reason.

References identify the sources used in these answers. The Sources index preserves additional discovery links; inclusion there does not mean a source has been reviewed for this assessment. Corrections, completed searches, new direct evidence and changes in requirements should reopen the relevant answer.
