Overview
This conference paper summarizes 2017 to 2019 laboratory monitoring of lead, cadmium and arsenic in seven food groups in Russia, including bakery and confectionery. Results appear only as bar charts of the share of tests falling in each concentration interval, with text naming the groups that dominate each interval.
Key numbers
- Bakery and confectionery is among the groups whose lead results mostly fall below 0.01 mg/kg (Section 3, Figure 1).
- Bakery and confectionery is among the groups whose cadmium results mostly fall below 0.001 mg/kg and arsenic results below 0.02 mg/kg (Section 3, Figures 2 and 3).
- No concentrations, sample counts or methods are printed.
Methods (brief)
Not described beyond a reference to standard methods and equipment manuals.
Evidence Fitness
Interval shares only, with no sample numbers, method or LOD, so no occurrence values can be extracted. Bakery and confectionery is a broad proxy for blueberry-muffin and doughnut and gives no product-specific information.
