Product-category pages describe heavy-metal evidence for consumer-facing food categories. Start here when the reader’s question begins with a product type rather than a metal.
Quick read
The most developed product layer is infant and child foods. Pages summarize source-backed occurrence evidence, data gaps, and applicable regulation links; they do not rank brands or publish certification limits.

Infant and Child Foods (HMTc Category 1, Ages 0-5)
These pages report what the evidence says about the product row, source coverage, partial distributions, and data gaps. Technical row architecture and Evidence Fitness notes remain on the detail pages for auditability.
Lead regulatory, exposure, and occurrence benchmarks are normalized into ppb in Category 1 lead benchmark context. The ppb view keeps FDA, EU, Prop 65, and occurrence values comparable while preserving each value’s legal or evidentiary role.
These pages are graph anchors for sources that report a broader product category than the locked HMTc row split. They should not replace the 16 Category 1 row pages or carry final p90/p100 candidate values unless the evidence is later resolved into a specific row.
These pages carry the first Category 5 beverage comparison layer. The locked row nodes separate finished-product evidence from ingredient-only values and place regulatory context next to actual field findings where the matrix, species, and unit basis match.
