Summary
This eCFR section provides FDA reference amounts customarily consumed per eating occasion. HMI uses these values only as transparent serving-size assumptions when converting California Proposition 65’s lead MADL from an exposure value in ug/day into a ppb-equivalent concentration screen.
Category 1 values used for Prop 65 conversions
| Product category | Reference amount used in HMI | HMI conversion use |
|---|---|---|
| Cereals, dry instant | 15 g | Dry infant cereal Prop 65 ppb equivalent |
| Dinners, desserts, fruits, vegetables, or soups, ready-to-serve, junior or strained type | 110 g | Purees, infant meals, and mixed baby-food products |
| Dinners, stews, or soups for young children, ready-to-serve | 170 g | Toddler-meal sensitivity note |
| Juices, all varieties, for infants and young children | 120 mL | Juice ppb equivalent, approximated as 120 g |
| Other cereal and grain products, dry ready-to-eat, including teething biscuits and toasts | 7 g for infant teething/snack products | Teething and snack ppb equivalent |
Formula assumptions are not taken from this table. Formula rows use clearly labelled illustrative daily-intake assumptions until a formula-specific exposure model is approved.

Update history
The five most recent substantive edits to this page, classified major (evidence or structure moved), correction (a published value or statement was wrong and has been fixed), or minor (narrative rewritten without changing the underlying evidence). Each description is derived from what the edit did to this page; the linked commit is the authoritative record, routine regeneration passes are excluded, and the full version history lives in git. When DOI minting comes online (see schema docs), each entry below will also link to a version-pinned DataCite DOI.
