This is a RELEASE basis on the food, not the plastics-simulant convention and not a total-content basis: the percent-by-weight lead limits on food-contact metals and solder are a separate MATERIAL-CONTENT obligation, disclosed as companions and never published here.. No government sets a numeric heavy-metal limit for this product form, so every panel analyte is held under mandatory analytical control or a substantiated not-material determination rather than an invented ceiling.
