Certain contaminant levels are not included in this transparency tool - allowable levels listed in quality standards for bottled water and marine biotoxin safety levels. </p><p>While ideally, all foods would be free from contaminants, the growing, processing, and distribution processes can introduce contaminants into a food supply that has been repeatedly determined overall to be safe for the public.  </p><input type='hidden' id='passle-remote-hosting-tracking-shortcode' value='102k6qu'/><blockquote class="wp-block-quote passle-quote has-cite-link"><p>&quot;Contaminant levels listed in the transparency tool include tolerances, action levels, guidance levels, derived intervention levels, recommended maximum levels, and advisory levels.&quot;</p><cite><a href="https://www.hfpappexternal.fda.gov/scripts/fdcc/index.cfm?set=contaminant-levels" aria-label="www.hfpappexternal.fda.gov/..." title="https://www.hfpappexternal.fda.gov/scripts/fdcc/index.cfm?set=contaminant-levels" target="_blank">www.hfpappexternal.fda.gov/...</a></cite></blockquote><div class="passle-featured-image passle-featured-image-position-bottom"><img src="https://images.passle.net/fit-in/400x400/filters:crop(39,0,2268,1279)/Passle/5f6edd8e8cb62a0bec3e5fd2/SearchServiceImages/2025-03-26-18-54-29-172-67e44d651100ec6673854ba6.jpg" alt="Featured Image" /></div>
