Provisional scaffold. This page was created automatically on 2026-05-19 so that an ingested source could route to it. Aliases, category, and the contamination profile have not yet been populated. Content below is minimal until a synthesis pass consolidates the literature for this ingredient.

Reason: heal-gaps: routing_unresolved entry from source henriquez-hernandez2023-baby-purees-spain-elements declared ingredient/vegetables-mixed, no close-slug match

Triggering source: Concentration of Essential, Toxic, and Rare Earth Elements in Ready-to-Eat Baby Purees from the Spanish Market

Literature scope

The literature corpus for this ingredient is currently thin. Sources route here as ingest proceeds; once enough sources accumulate per the Part 9 synthesis trigger (n_studies ≥ 2 per metal), the synthesis pass will populate the contamination profile.

FDA TDS FY2018–FY2020 source observations

FDA measured the prepared foods named below. Each row describes that food and preparation, not every form of this ingredient. Values are µg/kg (ppb) on the FDA sample basis. ND means not detected; it is not a measured zero. Reporting limits can vary between composites. FY2018-FY2020 TDS Elements Analytical Results
