Test Summary:
The item is non-detect for lead. The item is non-detect for cadmium, arsenic, and mercury.
Trace antimony was detected. We do not have a leaching concern for trace antimony or other trace heavy metals in glass.
We Prefer:
This baking dish is a great option by Anchor Hocking, one of our favorite companies that still manufactures products domestically in the United States. New clear glass is typically lead free. Vintage and colored glass can sometimes contain trace heavy metals.
We do not generally have a concern with trace heavy metals in glass unless the item is lead crystal. Crystal is typically very high in lead and may leach lead through the use of acidic food and drink. We also recommend avoiding glass with painted markings which can contain lead or cadmium in the paint.
When possible, we recommend that all items used by children in the kitchen be lead free, with the exception of trace lead in products that are leach tested, preferably under 90 ppm lead on surface coatings, which is considered to be within legal safety limits for children’ s products. Ordinary glass is an exception and we do not have a concern for glass with trace heavy metals exceeding this limit.
