reported as below reporting limit '< 0.02 mg/kg'; not imputed
Low / Moderate / High rating
No relative rating: reporting limits leave the target median bounded. Overlapping bounds do not establish equal levels or a direction of difference.

Shared samples and study overlap
Subgroup rows, statistics of the same subgroup and the study total share samples; they are not independent results.
Each table row describes a food/analyte result. Repeated rows do not add independent samples or datasets. No cross-study trend is calculated in this comparison mode.
