How to read this: Ratings use qualitative lead-level bands (from Consumer Reports and Clean Label Project) rather than a single lab number, because contamination varies by flavor and batch. Prices are approximate per-serving figures and change constantly on Amazon — use them as a rough affordability guide, not a quote.
