Hello, IFSQN

 

Is there a requirement for heavy metal limits in food for the United States?

I know there is heavy metal limits for water, but what about ready to eat food?

 

Here is an article that I found about heavy metals in the U.S.:

Not for most foods at the federal level.  Some exceptions like baby food, or dietary supplement/replacements.

 

CA has state regs, and a few others probably copy them.
