A mango, whole and cut

Mango, raw

Checked by us One serving: 140 g · 84 kcal

Lots of vitamin C.

Nothing to watch so far.

Good for

How we counted this

What one serving (140 g) gives you.

Your body needs enough of each of these. Past enough, more doesn’t help. Amounts are what the food databases list, not what your body absorbs, unless a row says it was measured.

The words: “A lot” means one serving gives 20% or more of Health Canada’s daily amount, “Some” 10% to 19%, “A little” 2% to 9%, “Almost none” under 2%. Strongest word first; within a word, protein and fibre lead, then the biggest share.

A milligram (mg) is a thousandth of a gram, and a microgram (µg) a thousandth of a milligram: 1,000 µg make 1 mg.

How we counted this
Checked for cadmium, nickel and lead: fine at normal amounts.
  • Cadmium

    Nothing to watch

    You’d need about 20 servings a day, every day, of this food alone to use up what an average adult’s intake leaves under the limit.

    Learn more

    One serving carries 0.35 µg

    How we got this

    A serving a day adds 2% to what an average adult already takes in: a share of that intake, not of the limit. With that serving every day, an average adult would be at about 72% of the limit.

    An average adult already takes in about 71% of the limit. One serving a day fits in the room left.

    Counted from zero, with no allowance for what adults already take in from other food, 70,000 g a week would reach the limit.

    Why this rating: Eating it daily comes to 980 g a week, which stays within the 20,000 g of room left before the limit.

    The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: under the limit

    A daily serving adds 2% to an average adult's cadmium intake (EFSA 2012 adult median, 1.77 µg/kg body weight/week; Canadian adults in 2007: 1.2-1.75), far from doubling it, so no cap.

    One serving carries 3.36 µg

    How we got this

    The highest average adult intake we found already takes up about 26% of the limit. One serving a day fits in the room left.

    Counted from zero, with no allowance for what adults already take in from other food, 38,000 g a day would reach the limit.

    Why this rating: Eating it daily comes to 140 g a day, which stays within the 28,000 g of room left before the limit.

    The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: under the limit

    No cap: EFSA's 2020 tolerable daily intake (TDI) for nickel is 13 µg/kg body weight/day, 910 µg a day for 70 kg. Eaten alone, about 37,917 g a day would reach it, an upper bound on grams since non-detects count as zero. A serving carries 3.36 µg. The mean is soft: 4 of the 6 FDA samples were non-detects at a 40 ppb limit. Background intake is not subtracted.

    How we got this

    The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: rated by margin of exposure

    No cap: no safe level is set for lead; EFSA's 2010 reference point is a benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL01). Judged by what a daily serving adds to the average adult's intake (35 µg a day): between 0.2% and 4.1%, far from doubling it. Only a range can be stated honestly: CFIA's imported mango (164 samples, 53 positive) varies widely by year, and the widest year sets the top of the range.

Noted for context, or not measured in this food yet.

  • Measured in this food, not rated yet. Not rated: this is total arsenic with no speciation, so no reference value is applied. A serving carries 0.336 µg of total arsenic (FDA, 6 samples, 3 detects).

  • Shown as context, not rated: relevant only to people with a latex allergy. In a 2024 review of latex-fruit syndrome, mango appears only in a list of other foods that patients have reported reacting to. Mango is not on Health Canada's priority allergen list.

  • Shown as context, not rated: pesticide residues are not scored and no acceptable-daily-intake arithmetic was done. In CFIA's tests of imported mango, violations were prochloraz 14 of 337 samples (23 positives, max 2.48 ppm), thiabendazole 8 (43 positives, max 3.17 ppm), ethylene diamine 5, dithiocarbamates 1 and carbendazim/thiophanate methyl 1 + 1. Samples are unwashed whole fruit, and the skin is not eaten.

  • Pathogen record, not a concentration: no grams figure. The notice's advice was to discard recalled fruit; no standing advice against mango is given.

Better options

How we counted this

“Better” here always means better at something the row names: more of one nutrient, more nutrients per serving, or the goal you pick. It never means better in every way.

Every amount below is for the same weight, 140 g, the size of one serving of this food, so a swap compares like with like. A serving of another food can be bigger or smaller.

Compared with the other fruits we’ve checked.

A food is listed only if it gives clearly more: at least a fifth more than this food, and at least 10% of the daily amount more.

More of what it’s good for

More vitamin C

Amounts as listed, not adjusted for how much gets in.

More nutrients per serving, counted together

The other fruits we’ve checked with more nutrients per serving than this one, counting at most 100 kcal. One score ranks them all, so the same few often lead.

  • Kiwi, raw
    • More vitamin C (105 mg vs 51 mg)
    • More vitamin K1 (56.4 µg vs 5.88 µg)

1 food out of the 17 other fruits we’ve checked and could compare gives clearly more nutrients per serving.

Where the calcium card measured that less calcium gets in than from milk, calcium counts for less; everything else is as listed.

Your goal

Your goal changes only this list, not what the food gives you or what to watch.

Losing weight: fewer calories, and more nutrients, protein and fibre for each calorie.

  • Raspberries, raw
    • More fibre (9.1 g vs 2.24 g)
    • Less vitamin C (32.3 mg vs 51 mg)
  • Strawberries, raw
    • 46 kcal in 140 g (this food: 84)
    • More vitamin C (83.5 mg vs 51 mg)
  • Kiwi, raw
    • More vitamin C (105 mg vs 51 mg)
    • More vitamin K1 (56.4 µg vs 5.88 µg)

Listed nutrients, per 100 g

For each nutrient, the value this page uses is marked “used”. A row marked “second database” is another database’s figure for a matching food, kept so you can see how far databases disagree (they can differ in the samples analysed, lab methods and rounding). Its own cells are worked out from it, but none of the page’s words or scores are.

Body map 2026-10-25.1: each nutrient’s job comes from an agency fact sheet, linked beside it under Good for.

The plain words: “a lot” means one serving (100 g when the food has no serving size) gives at least 20% of the daily amount (the reference intake), “some” at least 10%, “a little” at least 2% (the cut-offs are ours, one set for every page: 20% and 10% are borrowed from the US labelling terms “high” and “good source” and applied to Health Canada’s daily amount, whereas Health Canada’s own shopper rule says 15%; provisional: they may change in a later method version). The daily amount is Health Canada’s Dietary Reference Intake for adults 19–30; where men and women need different amounts we use the higher one (protein: 56 g for men, 46 g for women). The percentage printed under each nutrient is the printed amount as a share of that daily amount, rounded to the nearest whole number, and the word is read from that percentage, so the amount, the percentage and the word always agree. Calcium with a measured absorption is scaled by how well it gets in compared with milk.

The scale: “Nothing to watch” means a serving a day stays under the limit at ordinary amounts; “Go easy” means a serving a day can push past the limit for adults who already take in the most, or fewer than 2 servings reach it; “Limit it” means once a week or less. The dataset’s own rating is under “How we got this”. Provisional: the scale may change in a later method version.

Measured absorption under Good for: grade-A studies in adults that tested this preparation of this food, as a share of the listed amount (the share digested, for protein), quoted once each source has passed our evidence check; animal studies and other variants stay in the table above. Provisional: this screen may change in a later method version.
