<div>In support of a series of articles that we wrote many years ago - about the concern for Antimony contamination in Peanut butter packaged in plastic jars - we are hoping to test two peanut butters. Two tests would be run on each peanut butter sample type - which is why this campaign has a higher goal than previous campaigns. We would run one set of tests for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic contamination - &amp; a second laboratory test for Antimony contamination.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With these campaigns we will be testing TWO organic peanut butters - one packaged in plastic and one packaged in glass. Our hypothesis (based on the research on the subject that we have done to date) is that the peanut butter packaged in the plastic jar will likely have higher levels of Antimony than the peanut butter packaged in a glass jar (Antimony was added to the list of known carcinogens in December of 2021) - and that the peanut butter packaged in a glass jar may even test non-detect for Antimony. Please contribute to this campaign or the one for the other peanut butter if you are also interested in seeing the outcome of this comparison. Thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We may launch a few more peanut butter campaigns for part of this series if we get enough feedback from others that they would like us to test more different brands.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Here's our original article about peanut butter contamination - if you have not yet read it:

</div>
<div>Hi all!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the interest of getting some new Lead Safe Mama, LLC Laboratory Food Testing GoFundMes launched quickly - we are publishing these fundraising campaigns without the full detailed narrative but will be adding more narrative details (including links to the published lab reports once the testing has been completed) over the coming days and weeks (via updates to this campaign).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are interested in learning more about the community-collaborative / community-funded laboratory food testing (testing food for the following toxicants: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, &amp; Arsenic) we are doing (through Lead Safe Mama, LLC - a unique, community collaborative, woman-owned, small business based in Portland, Oregon - a small business with a focus on childhood Lead poisoning prevention and consumer goods safety) - please check out some of our other GoFundMe campaigns, which have all of the details - including a detailed budget for how the funds will be spent for each food we are raising money to test.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's a link to an article from Consumer Reports Magazine - an article that discusses some collaborative follow up we worked on with CR in response to some of the early food testing done by Lead Safe Mama, LLC: <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/lesser-evil-serenity-kids-cassava-puffs-high-lead-levels-a2654657249" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/lesser-evil-serenity-kids-cassava-puffs-high-lead-levels-a2654657249/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/lesser-evil-serenity-kids-cassava-puffs-high-lead-levels-a2654657249/</a></a>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>4. A landing page with links to all of the safer foods we have found with this food testing work so far (foods that have tested "non-detect" for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic - with the limits of detection noted in the lab reports we have published):
