AU: Survey of tinned fruits for tin, lead and arsenic
Food Standards Australia New Zealand: In 2015 Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) tested canned and bottled fruit products following reports of high levels of metals in some products.
FSANZ’s survey, conducted by an independent laboratory on domestic and imported products, found very small amounts of lead and tin in all products tested.

These results are consistent with Commonwealth Department of Agriculture and Water Resources surveillance testing at the border.
