This is sheep whey from one farm, not cow whey and not cheese. Table 2 prints mg kg−1. This note writes mg/kg for those numerals. n = 12 whey samples. No recovery percentage is printed. Cadmium was not detected. The cadmium limit of detection is 0.00005 mg/kg. Arsenic is not inorganic. Chromium is not hexavalent. Wet versus dry weight is not stated.
