Retroactive P1 note — missed by sweep-2

Sweep-2 (rows 42–83) recorded 0 mismatches, but during source verification for rows 43–44 and 50–51 in this session the following P1 mismatches were discovered. They are reported here so the editing session can act on them; they were in sweep-2’s row range, not this batch’s.

apple.md and applesauce.md claim the EU 2023/915 Cd ML for apple/applesauce is 0.050 mg/kg (50 ppb). The EU source explicitly contradicts this.

EU 2023/915 Annex I Cadmium section distinguishes:

• Section 3.2.1.1: “Fruits except 3.2.1.2–3.2.1.4” = 0.050 mg/kg (general tier)
• Section 3.2.1.2: “Citrus fruits, pome fruits, stone fruits, table olives, kiwi, bananas, mangoes, papayas, pineapples” = 0.020 mg/kg

Apple (Malus domestica) is definitively a pome fruit. The applicable EU Cd ML for apple is 0.020 mg/kg (20 ppb), not 0.050 mg/kg (50 ppb). Both apple.md line 187 and applesauce.md line 189 use the general-tier value (3.2.1.1) instead of the pome-fruit-specific value (3.2.1.2). This is a 2.5× error.

Context and source verification summary

Supported sources this batch:

• fda-iAs-rice-cereal-2020 source page: “Action level: 100 ppb iAs (100 µg/kg)” — confirms baby-cereals 100 ppb iAs claims (rows 85–87).
• fda-ctz-Pb-babyfood-2025 source page: “Dry infant cereals | 20 ppb” and “Single-ingredient root vegetables | 20 ppb” — confirms 20 ppb Pb claims for baby cereals (row 88) and baked-potato CTZ claims (rows 109–115).
• eu-2023-915-contaminants-maximum-levels source: 3.5.1 canned food = 200 mg/kg Sn, 3.5.2 canned beverages = 100 mg/kg Sn — confirms baked-beans Sn claims (rows 90–93); 3.1.2.1 root/tuber = 0.10 mg/kg Pb (rows 116–117); 3.2.2.1 root/tuber = 0.10 mg/kg Cd (rows 118–119).
• codex-cxs-193-1995 source: “Root and tuber vegetables | 0.1 | Potato: peeled potato” — confirms baked-potato Codex Cd 0.10 mg/kg (rows 120–121).
• EU 3.2.1.1 (general fruits) = 0.050 mg/kg Cd applies to avocado (not a pome/citrus/stone/listed-tropical fruit) — row 84 supported.

Not-in-source patterns this batch:

1. Baked-beans Why/200 mg/kg Sn (row 89): The 200 mg/kg in the “Why” section is a contextual reference to the EU regulatory threshold, but the nearest citation is fsa2016-infant-food-formula-metals-survey, which is a dietary survey that does not state 200 mg/kg as a Sn toxicity threshold. Value is supported by EU 3.5.1 (confirmed in rows 91–92), but the citation trail in the Why section points to FSA 2016.
2. Baked-beans legume Pb/Cd limits (rows 94–99): The EU 2023/915 source page extracted only selected Annex I rows; “legume vegetables” (Pb 0.10 mg/kg, Cd 0.050 mg/kg) and “dried legume seeds” (Cd 0.10 mg/kg) rows are absent. These categories likely exist in the full regulation but were not transcribed into the source page body.
3. Baked-potato TDS values (rows 100–108): Same structural gap as sweeps 1–2: fda2022-tds-elements-fy2018-fy2020 source page body does not enumerate per-food values. All nine values are confirmed in data/evidence/fda_tds_fy2018_2020_summary_by_food_analyte.csv and the ingredient page’s own TDS table.
4. Balsamic-vinegar detection floors (rows 122–123): ndungu2004-lead-vinegar-icpms-gfaas source is Pb-only; its GFAAS MDL is 0.12 µg/L (not “5 ppb”). No Al or tAs data appear anywhere in the Ndungu source page. The claimed ICP-MS detection floors (Pb ≤5 ppb, Al ≤50 ppb, tAs ≤5 ppb) are not stated in the cited source.
