Other cooking oils (canola, sunflower, coconut, avocado, sesame)
HMTc standard for Other cooking oils (canola, sunflower, coconut, avocado, sesame) (Culinary Oils and Fats, category 30). Values are stated in the product’s native basis — as sold — per the locked methodology.

Analyte scope
This disclosure travels with the mark so a certified product is never silently uncontrolled on an analyte.
- Published (firm limit in force): none yet
- In scope, in development (no firm limit yet): Pb, Cd, Ni
- Out of scope for this subcategory: tAs, iAs, tHg, MeHg, Cr-VI, Sn, Al
Status: in development. No analyte in this subcategory has cleared all five shipping gates yet. This page reports the current evidence state honestly; it is not yet a published standard. See Program Structure for how a subcategory reaches publication.
HMTc standards are living, versioned documents. This page reflects 2.2 (2026-06-09) as of 2026-06-22. Superseded versions remain at stable URLs so prior citations resolve. The threshold-setting methodology is described in Program Structure.
