This source is Israel Ministry of Health Food Control Services guidance setting maximum levels for heavy metals and inorganic tin in food, updated 1 May 2016. The tables cover lead, cadmium, mercury, total arsenic, inorganic arsenic, and inorganic tin across broad food categories, including infant formulas, infant and toddler foods, bottled drinking water, seafood, produce, cereals, canned foods, beverages, supplements, salt, and dairy products. General notes state that when a listed food is used as a raw material for another product, the raw material must comply with the table before addition, and that finished products should be assessed according to the raw-material share in the product. The structured register records the table values as mg/kg converted to ug/kg, preserving ready-to-eat and powder distinctions where the directive states them.
