Carrots

Stub page. Chekri et al. 2019 identifies carrots as a high-barium example within vegetable categories consumed by French infants and toddlers, including a carrot value of 1450 ug/kg in the vegetable-based ready-to-eat-meal category. This source does not yet provide a carrot-specific p90 or a complete carrot-only distribution. chekri2019-french-infant-toddler-tds-trace-elements

Ranges by source, region, and variety

Pending extraction of carrot-specific occurrence datasets. Current Category 1 evidence uses broader root-vegetable, vegetable puree, and mixed-meal rows.
