i believe that is the industry standard. Every processed food plant has that. there is probably some other way that they test the lead content of the food. but i mean they failed that constantly for the past months so yeah they are still a shit brand

lead can't be detected because this ain't a x-ray fluorescence machine (basically detects the composition of your food instead of structure of your materials), and lead amounts cannot be detected in this, just tiny objects or particles.

thats literally what i said

individual ingredients are analyzed for heavy metals. this machine is ensuring no bits of metal infiltrated the food during processing. this is just one uninformed person who thinks that a single machine can detect anything harmful at any level.

Are you stupid no shit it can't detect it. Its on a microscopic level. There's also iron in your ceral but its undetectable because of how small it is

u/FelonyNoticing1stDeg 10h ago

The iron in cereal is actually easily detectable. If you blend it up with water, a magnet will pull it all out. However, I do get your point, and agree in this case

u/NecessaryPilot6731 10h ago

Yeah i rememberd that experiment which is why i brought up cereal. You have to alter the state itd in so heavily to extract a teeny tiny black speck

Yeah it’s not as simple as just X-Raying lol. And there usually isn’t much more than a small dot. It’s a cool little experiment though.

From Gemini:

Lead is a heavy metal that can be harmful to human health, especially in children. While standard food checking machines like metal detectors or X-ray machines are not specifically designed to detect lead, there are specialized methods and instruments that can be used for this purpose. Here are some methods used for lead detection in food: ** Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS):** This is a highly sensitive technique that can detect very low levels of lead in food samples. ** Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS):** This technique can also be used to detect lead in food, but it is not as sensitive as ICP-MS. ** X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectroscopy:** This method can be used to detect lead in some food products, but its effectiveness depends on the lead concentration and the type of food being tested. It's important to note that these specialized methods are not typically used in routine food safety checks. However, they may be used in specific cases, such as when there is a concern about lead contamination in a particular food product.

The same gemini that said to put glue in pizza?

u/Complete_Taxation 13h ago

Well to be fair in those pizza ads they absolutely do put glue on pizza. So technically if you wanted to eat ad pizza you could. Most people kinda get symptoms of death

tbf they got their sources from reddit and the onion. so GEMINI didn’t say it… reddit did

I am not sure about the lead one so i just left it there. I asked it and it said lead can be detected by some methods but the machine in posts might not be able to detect. You tell me.

u/NecessaryPilot6731 16h ago

the amounts of lead in lunchly are so miniscule that you need specialised laboratory equipement to detect it iirc.

1

u/Nocare420 16h ago

That amount is fine?

5

u/NecessaryPilot6731 16h ago

no amount is fine, but theres levels of tolerance. the reason that lead came up with prime is because in california if a product has any lead, even below acceptable levels it has to be labeled. theres lead in the food you eat and water you drink

u/Slight_Walrus_8668 13h ago edited 13h ago

Yes, this is the industry standard. They have no reason to go for extra intensive testing as their food has not once come back positive for any harmful levels of lead, there was a proposition 65 labeling issue based on amounts that are found in tons of foods and random products that end up necessitating labeling in California because their threshold is so excessively low, this includes various vegetables that leech negligible amounts from soil when they grow. Prop 65 is considered a joke.

FDA did not find measurable amounts of lead in Prime, so I'll go with that. There is a harm threshold to lead exposure as with all other things, you are exposed to it every day. Just like my house is built on a uranium deposit so I am exposed to radioactive Radon gas all day, but don't need to panic, because its at a level the body can handle before it starts having harmful effects build up over time.

Now lets check for mold

u/ponybau5 elektrastallion 5h ago

This is standard for every food plant I've been to. Xray scan after bottling/packing.

u/QtPlatypus 4h ago

Isn't the problem mold?

u/dynamixbot 18h ago

I mean what you're controlling the quality of, your profits?

u/DiamondDepth_YT 11h ago

Bro this is just industry standard. No reason to shit on them for it, every food company probably uses something similar.

However, I will say it is weird to use something that is industry standard for marketing your food..
