This page records the infant and child food heavy-metal maximum levels set by GSO 193:2021 — Gulf Technical Regulation: Contaminants and toxins in food and feed (Edition 1, 01/07/2021) (GSO 193:2021), the instrument of GCC Standardization Organization (GSO), 2021. Every value below is transcribed from the primary text and is the value an HMTc standard cites when this jurisdiction binds a certification limit. It is a record of law, not an HMTc threshold.
Infant & child food limits
All values µg/kg (ppb), in the basis the instrument states. 1 limit for infant and child food categories.

How this interacts with HMTc
HMTc certification standards adopt the strictest maximum level set by any credible government worldwide. Where this instrument holds the strictest value for a (product, analyte) cell, it binds the HMTc limit and the standard cites this page. This page does not set or justify any HMTc threshold; it records the sovereign requirement the program measures against.
