I've been trying to find EU regulation and it seems like EU limits are WAY above what CR set. So now I'm confused.
Edit: or maybe not? I'm unclear on what I'm seeing.
It looks like the EU's limit for supplements is 3 mg/kg.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/915/oj/eng
Consumer reports "level of concern" is ug/day. They tested Huel at 6.3 ug per 90 g serving, or 70 ug/kg (.07 mg/kg).
Basically Huel only hits 2.3% of the EU limits. It looks like the EU regulates "supplements" assuming they are like pills or something where you'd only consume a few grams a day. Compare it to salt, with a limit of 1 mg/kg. Something that you'd actually be expected to eat a lot of, like grain, has a limit of 0.2 mg/kg. Basically, it's still below the limit there, but getting close.
The US limit for grain is .02 mg/kg, so 10x more strict than the EU. I'm not sure about supplements, though.
Hilariously I stopped reading like 5 lines above that and misunderstood everything, goddammit. Thank you.
I do (possibly foolishly) have a lot of faith in EU regulation in general so now I'm very cautiously optimistic I won't have to starve. I'll have to find out more about these limits on supplements and where they come from and who set them based on what and if they even apply to Huel.
