What an independent laboratory found in 100 cat foods from 62 brands, drawn from the figures in the Clean Label Project's report
Found does not mean harmful. The report gives detection rates and multiples, not amounts, and says no regulatory limits apply.
The Clean Label Project has not released results for individual products. Each row of dots is a count and not a list, so nothing here says which cat foods were affected.
The report gives each substance's rate separately. It does not say how many products had all three metals at once, or how many had none.
The figures are detection rates and multiples, not amounts. A large multiple of a small amount and a small multiple of a large amount look the same here. The report says no regulatory limits apply, and its executive director told CNN the study does not determine whether a specific product will harm a cat.
Each product was tested from a single batch, and the group sizes behind the multiples and shares are not published. The sample was .
