You can check what levels are allowed for various foods in Europe here which tend to be on the conservative side.
At the moment, research does not seem to be strong. For example, according to the quoted source:
> We systematically reviewed relevant studies published through December 30, 2018 and identified 14 studies on iAs and 37 studies on Pb exposure and their respective associations with ASD. Among them, 8 (53.3%) and 19 (51.3%) studies reported a positive association for iAs and Pb, respectively, and none reported a sole inverse association.
Even though the article says there is "consistent evidence supporting a link between early exposure to the heavy metal and a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder".

Well according to the article, a safe level of inorganic arsenic is 100ppb according to the FDA and zero of the baby foods they tested exceeded that.
I'd also like to point out that heavy metals are natural, and whether a food product is allowed to be sold as 'natural' has no bearing on the amount of heavy metals present.

What made you choose to quote an organisation like the EWG, who are not considered credible by the scientific community, over toxicologists?

I'm looking for a post that compared the lives of several rich people (university, trust fund, job after university, etc.). I remember seeing it but I just can't find it!

I really want to condition this. I recommend leather honey

Are certain models made in Romania or do we just have to order and hope for the best? I'm looking at the mistrals. Considered buying a kids pair because I have small feet but the soles aren't vibram.

Zojirushi is awesome but those flasks are legit too good. Even if I prepare my coffee the night before, it's way too hot to drink in the afternoon so I have to open it and let it cool for like an hour.
