Arsenic2.68 ppmof 0.01 ppm
Over the limit — 268×FDA bottled-water Standard of Quality, 21 CFR 165.110(b) — 0.010 mg/L (= EPA MCL)

Over the limit — 123×FDA bottled-water Standard of Quality, 21 CFR 165.110(b) — 0.002 mg/L
Measured in: Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna No Salt Added
Bisphenol a (BPA)11.3 ppbof 1 ppb
Over the limit — 11×EU 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 (EU) 2024/3190 — BPA banned in food-contact materials from 20 Jan 2025 (old 0.05 mg/kg SML repealed); the residual exemptions require NO detectable migration at a 1 ug/kg detection limit. 1 ppb is therefore the tightest published number.

Over the limit — 8.4×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).
