Material Safety & Lead Testing

The question behind most of what we publish: does this material leach lead, cadmium, or another contaminant into food? These guides check specific brands and materials against manufacturer data, FDA food-contact rules, and California Prop 65 limits, reviewed by our materials chemist, James Daniels, before publishing. See How We Test for the full process, or the Glossary for terms like Prop 65 and XRF testing.
