Arsenic found in 28 of 46 Florida candies tested, raising child safety concerns despite no recalls.
A Florida Department of Health report found arsenic in 28 of 46 candies tested, part of a state initiative to monitor food safety.
The testing, using EPA Method 6010D, detected total arsenic without distinguishing forms and identified specific candies that could exceed state-issued annual exposure thresholds with as few as six servings.
While no recalls were issued, officials say the results highlight risks, especially for children, and support the need for stronger safety standards.
The National Confectioners Association disputed the findings, citing lower levels in federal studies and calling the state’s risk estimates misleading.
Full results are available online.
