Over the limit — 6.2×US EPA drinking-water MCL, 40 CFR 141.61(c) — 0.006 mg/L. Applied to all foods as the TIGHTEST published DEHP number; the EU food-contact limit is looser (Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442: SML 0.6 mg/kg, plus the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit with DBP/BBP/DIBP).
Arsenic19.7 ppbof 10 ppb
Over the limit — 2×FDA bottled-water Standard of Quality, 21 CFR 165.110(b) — 0.010 mg/L (= EPA MCL)
Cadmium6.39 ppbof 5 ppb
Over the limit — 1.3×FDA bottled-water Standard of Quality, 21 CFR 165.110(b) — 0.005 mg/L
Lead5.76 ppbof 5 ppb
Over the limit — 1.2×FDA bottled-water Standard of Quality, 21 CFR 165.110(b) — 0.005 mg/L
Diisobutyl Phthalate14 ppbof 150 ppb
9% of the limitEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 2023/1442 group restriction — DBP x5 + DIBP x4 + BBP x0.1 + DEHP <= 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalents, so DIBP alone may not exceed 0.15 mg/kg. DIBP is not itself an authorised substance.
Di (2-ethylhexyl) Terephthalate0.61 ppmof 60 ppm
1% of the limitEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 — DEHT (FCM 798) SML 60 mg/kg, group restriction with DINCH. No tighter published limit exists (EFSA TDI 1 mg/kg bw/day).
Inorganic Arsenic14.3 ppbfound
Detected · no published limit
Bisphenol a (BPA)NDof 1 ppb
Not detectedEU Reg. (EU) 2024/3190 — BPA banned in food-contact materials from 20 Jan 2025 (old 0.05 mg/kg SML repealed); the residual exemptions require NO detectable migration at a 1 ug/kg detection limit. 1 ppb is therefore the tightest published number.
Dibutyl PhthalateNDof 120 ppb
Not detectedEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442 — DBP SML 0.12 mg/kg (cut from 0.3). Also inside the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit (DBP x5).
Diethylhexyl AdipateNDof 18 ppm
Not detectedEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 — DEHA (FCM 207) SML 18 mg/kg.
DimethylphthalateNDof 10 ppb
Not detectedDMP is not on the EU Union list of substances authorised in food-contact plastics (Reg. (EU) 10/2011 Annex I), so no migration is permitted. Set at 0.01 mg/kg, the detection limit 10/2011 uses for not-detectable (ND) restrictions.
MercuryNDof 2 ppb
