What we can confirm

The Clean Label Project reports testing 100 cat food products from 62 brands and detecting lead in 99% of products, with cadmium in 96% and arsenic in 94%. Multiple reputable news reports independently describe the same findings. The wording is broadly accurate, although the study was a nonprofit investigation rather than necessarily a peer-reviewed study, and detection does not establish that the products are unsafe.
