No brands are certified yet. This shows the shape of the public page a brand receives on issue — what the program controls and what the brand controls. Every value below is illustrative.
Cow-milk based, non-soy. Certified against Part 3.1 in powder as placed on market, with the prepared-for-feeding equivalent shown on the standard.
The same subcategory standard and the same ten-analyte panel. A separate certificate because it is a separate product, not a variant of the one above.
Certified against the non-rice cereal standard, in dry as sold. A second standard because it is a different subcategory with a different pathway.
The certification record
One certificate per product per standard. A product sold in two forms holds two certificates, because the standard and the basis differ by form.
| Product | Standard | Basis | Status | Valid through |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 Infant Formula, Powder | Part 3.1 — powder, non-soy | powder as placed on market | Compliant | 2027-05-18 |

| Oat Baby Cereal, Dry | Part 3.6 — dry, non-rice | dry as sold | Compliant | 2027-01-30 |
Specimen rows. Status B is a transitional variance on a Tier 2 metal, disclosed rather than hidden — a real certification state with a defined end date, not a failure.
Each product above was tested at or below every value in the standard named beside it, in that product’s native basis, on the ten-analyte panel, by an accredited laboratory. The mark does not certify that a product is safe and does not extend to products not listed. Full scope of the mark →

Everything a buyer’s compliance review or a reporter’s fact-check needs, without an email to either party.
<Brand name> holds Heavy Metal Tested & Certified status for three products under the HMTc Infant and Child Foods Standard, 2026 Edition. Each is tested at an accredited laboratory on a ten-analyte panel, in the product’s native basis, against limits published in advance by the program. Certification attests to measurement against a stated threshold; it is not a determination of safety.
Reproduce this paragraph as written. Edits that drop the final sentence convert a conformity statement into a safety claim, which breaches mark usage under Part 2.5 and is the most common way a certified brand loses the right to display the mark.
About the brand
This section is written by the brand and is the only part of the page it controls. It is visually distinguished from the certification record above so a reader can tell marketing from conformity — which protects the brand as much as the reader, since a claim made here can never be mistaken for one the program made.
