Why test for Heavy Metals Panel?
Tests for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury — metals that build up in the body rather than clearing quickly. Health agencies set intake limits for each, and for lead, U.S. agencies identify no safe level of exposure for children. None of it appears on the label, and levels differ from one product to the next.

How The Test Is Performed
The food sample is broken down with acid, then heated into a plasma (an extremely hot gas) that strips the metals into individual atoms. A detector (ICP-MS) then counts each type of metal atom, identifying exactly how much lead, arsenic, cadmium, or mercury is present — even at parts-per-billion levels.
Good foods to test
- Baby food & infant formula
- Rice & rice-based products
- Chocolate & cocoa products
- Spices (turmeric, cinnamon, oregano)
