Heavy Metals
ICP-MS
Big Four
Method Description
This panel analyzes four toxic heavy metals (typically lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic) that can contaminate food products and pose serious health risks. Testing is important because heavy metals can bioaccumulate in the body and cause neurological damage, organ dysfunction, and developmental problems. The analysis ensures compliance with regulatory limits and protects consumer safety.
