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.
No nutrient we score reaches “some” in one serving. The rest, at “a little” or less, is below.

How to handle it
A sudden, one-off illness risk: a hazard of uncooked whole peaches from a contaminated lot, not a concentration. The review reports 57 ill and 12 hospitalised in Canada and 101 ill and 28 hospitalised in the US; no outbreak strain was recovered from peaches (Salmonella Alachua and Montevideo were), and adjacent animal operations were suggested as a source.
Watch out
How we counted this
Checked for nickel, cadmium, aluminum, glyphosate residues and lead: fine at normal amounts.
Nickel
Nothing to watchYou’d need about 49 servings in a day of this food alone to use up what the highest average adult intake we found leaves under the limit.
Learn more
One serving carries 13.8 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, 9,200 g a day would reach the limit.
Why this rating: Eating it daily comes to 140 g a day, which stays within the 6,800 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 for nickel is 13 µg/kg body weight/day, 910 µg/day for 70 kg. Health Canada's Total Diet Study mean is 0.09842 µg/g (16 composites, none non-detect), so about 9,246 g a day, eaten alone, would reach it; one 140 g serving carries 13.8 µg. CFIA fresh peach is about half this figure (74.5 ng/g, 217 samples).

Cadmium
Nothing to watchYou’d need about 45 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 0.16 µg
How we got this
A serving a day adds 0.9% 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 71% 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, 150,000 g a week would reach the limit.
Why this rating: Eating it daily comes to 980 g a week, which stays within the 44,000 g of room left before the limit.
The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: under the limit
A daily serving adds 0.93% 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.

Aluminum
Nothing to watchYou’d need more than 100 servings a day, every day, of this food alone to reach the limit.

One serving carries 50 µg
How we got this
200,000 g a week reaches the limit
The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: under the limit
No cap: EFSA's tolerable weekly intake for aluminium is 1 mg/kg body weight/week, 70,000 µg/week for 70 kg. Health Canada's Total Diet Study mean is 0.3571 µg/g (16 composites, 2 non-detects stored as zero), so about 196,024 g a week, eaten alone, would reach it; one 140 g serving carries about 50 µg. CFIA fresh peach is about 6 times higher (2.29 µg/g, 217 samples), which would give 30,592 g a week; the gap is unexplained.

Glyphosate residues
Nothing to watchYou’d need more than 100 servings in a day of this food alone to reach the limit.

One serving carries 0.14 µg (glyphosate)
How we got this
36,000,000 g a day reaches the limit
The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: under the limit
No cap: EFSA's 2023 acceptable daily intake for glyphosate is 0.5 mg/kg body weight/day, 35,000 µg/day for 70 kg. CFIA's 2015–2017 survey found 2 of 17 fresh peach samples positive (maximum 0.0106 µg/g); the mean of 0.0009706 µg/g counts non-detects as zero, so the roughly 36,060,169 g a day to reach the limit is an upper bound. A 140 g serving carries 0.136 µg, and the sample is small.
Lead
Nothing to watchYou’d need about 23 servings a day, every day, of this food alone to double the lead an average adult already gets. No dose is known to be safe, so doubling is where we flag.
Learn more
A serving a day adds 4.5% to what an average adult already takes in. There is no limit to take a share of.
One serving carries 1.58 µg
How we got this
The dataset’s rating: Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake
No cap: no safe level of lead is set (EFSA 2010 benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL01), 0.5 µg/kg body weight/day). Health Canada's Total Diet Study mean is 11.29 ng/g (16 single-year composites, none non-detect), so one 140 g serving carries 1.58 µg, 4.5% of the average adult's 35 µg/day, far from doubling it. CFIA fresh peach is lower, a lower-bound mean of 7.56 ng/g (217 samples, maximum 310); the form behind the TDS food is unconfirmed.

For some people
Life-stage: hard foods, small round foods and fruit pits are choking hazards for young children; a peach carries a large stone and firm slices are hard. Not a concentration.
Person-specific: affects people sensitised to peach lipid transfer protein (systemic reactions in the Mediterranean area) or cross-reactive to birch and other Rosaceae pollen (mostly oral symptoms). No prevalence figure was extracted.
Worth knowing
No limit applies, so none is rated.
Sugar
12 g of sugar in a 140 g serving, natural and added together.
Learn more
Shown, not rated. The food tables we read give total sugar, and few give added sugar, so the site can’t yet tell sugar added in making a food from the sugar in fruit or milk.

Noted for context, or not measured in this food yet.
Measured in this food, not rated yet. Not rated: only total arsenic was measured (Health Canada Total Diet Study mean 4.092 ng/g, 12 composites, none non-detect; CFIA fresh peach lower-bound mean 3.16 ng/g, 217 samples). EFSA's 2024 reference point, a benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL05) of 0.06 µg/kg body weight/day with no safe limit, applies to inorganic arsenic, and the inorganic share in fruit was not sourced.
Shown as context, not rated: the hazard is the kernel in the stone, not the flesh. The acute reference dose is 20 µg cyanide/kg body weight per sitting (1,400 µg for 70 kg), but no kernel amygdalin figure was found in the EFSA opinion, so no arithmetic is done. Lee 2017 measured amygdalin in ripe peach flesh at 5.85 mg/100 g dry weight in one cultivar (0.46 and not detected in two others), against 12 to 2,312 in ripe seeds; on fresh weight the flesh figure would be about a tenth of that.
Shown as context, not rated: 436 of 576 CFIA-screened fresh peach samples (75.7%) had at least one residue, and the pooled screens show 0 violations. No intake arithmetic is done; the samples were whole fruit, and the effects of washing, peeling or canning were not searched.
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.
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 5.74 mg)
- More vitamin K1 (56.4 µg vs 4.2 µg)
Mango, raw- More vitamin C (51 mg vs 5.74 mg)
- More folate (60.2 µg vs 8.4 µg)
- More vitamin B6 (0.17 mg vs 0.04 mg)
Pineapple, rawMore vitamin C (82.1 mg vs 5.74 mg)
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 2.1 g)
- More vitamin C (32.3 mg vs 5.74 mg)
- More omega-3: ALA (176 mg vs 2.8 mg)
Raspberries, frozen- More fibre (6.02 g vs 2.1 g)
- More vitamin C (24.6 mg vs 5.74 mg)
Strawberries, raw- 46 kcal in 140 g (this food: 59)
- More vitamin C (83.5 mg vs 5.74 mg)
Building muscle: more protein and more calories, per 100 g. In a typical diet most protein comes from other foods; among fruits, these help most.

Hazard rows as the dataset rates them
- Aluminum · Nothing to watch: under the limit · No cap: EFSA's tolerable weekly intake for aluminium is 1 mg/kg body weight/week, 70,000 µg/week for 70 kg. Health Canada's Total Diet Study mean is 0.3571 µg/g (16 composites, 2 non-detects stored as zero), so about 196,024 g a week, eaten alone, would reach it; one 140 g serving carries about 50 µg. CFIA fresh peach is about 6 times higher (2.29 µg/g, 217 samples), which would give 30,592 g a week; the gap is unexplained. · Health Canada Total Diet Study, trace elements · A
- Arsenic, all forms · Not rated yet · Not rated: only total arsenic was measured (Health Canada Total Diet Study mean 4.092 ng/g, 12 composites, none non-detect; CFIA fresh peach lower-bound mean 3.16 ng/g, 217 samples). EFSA's 2024 reference point, a benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL05) of 0.06 µg/kg body weight/day with no safe limit, applies to inorganic arsenic, and the inorganic share in fruit was not sourced. · Health Canada Total Diet Study, trace elements · B
- Cadmium · Nothing to watch: under the limit · A daily serving adds 0.93% 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. · Health Canada Total Diet Study, trace elements · A
- Choking risk under age 4 · Worth knowing · Life-stage: hard foods, small round foods and fruit pits are choking hazards for young children; a peach carries a large stone and firm slices are hard. Not a concentration. · Health Canada, Nutrition for Healthy Term Infants: Recommendations… · B
- Cyanogenic glycosides · Context · Shown as context, not rated: the hazard is the kernel in the stone, not the flesh. The acute reference dose is 20 µg cyanide/kg body weight per sitting (1,400 µg for 70 kg), but no kernel amygdalin figure was found in the EFSA opinion, so no arithmetic is done. Lee 2017 measured amygdalin in ripe peach flesh at 5.85 mg/100 g dry weight in one cultivar (0.46 and not detected in two others), against 12 to 2,312 in ripe seeds; on fresh weight the flesh figure would be about a tenth of that. · EFSA 2019 · B
- Glyphosate residues · Nothing to watch: under the limit · No cap: EFSA's 2023 acceptable daily intake for glyphosate is 0.5 mg/kg body weight/day, 35,000 µg/day for 70 kg. CFIA's 2015–2017 survey found 2 of 17 fresh peach samples positive (maximum 0.0106 µg/g); the mean of 0.0009706 µg/g counts non-detects as zero, so the roughly 36,060,169 g a day to reach the limit is an upper bound. A 140 g serving carries 0.136 µg, and the sample is small. · CFIA 2015–2017 · B
- Lead · Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake · No cap: no safe level of lead is set (EFSA 2010 benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL01), 0.5 µg/kg body weight/day). Health Canada's Total Diet Study mean is 11.29 ng/g (16 single-year composites, none non-detect), so one 140 g serving carries 1.58 µg, 4.5% of the average adult's 35 µg/day, far from doubling it. CFIA fresh peach is lower, a lower-bound mean of 7.56 ng/g (217 samples, maximum 310); the form behind the TDS food is unconfirmed. · Health Canada Total Diet Study, trace elements · A
- Nickel · Nothing to watch: under the limit · No cap: EFSA's 2020 tolerable daily intake for nickel is 13 µg/kg body weight/day, 910 µg/day for 70 kg. Health Canada's Total Diet Study mean is 0.09842 µg/g (16 composites, none non-detect), so about 9,246 g a day, eaten alone, would reach it; one 140 g serving carries 13.8 µg. CFIA fresh peach is about half this figure (74.5 ng/g, 217 samples). · Health Canada Total Diet Study, trace elements · A
- Oral allergy to Rosaceae fruit · Worth knowing · Person-specific: affects people sensitised to peach lipid transfer protein (systemic reactions in the Mediterranean area) or cross-reactive to birch and other Rosaceae pollen (mostly oral symptoms). No prevalence figure was extracted. · PubMed 26633941 · B
- Pesticide residues · Context · Shown as context, not rated: 436 of 576 CFIA-screened fresh peach samples (75.7%) had at least one residue, and the pooled screens show 0 violations. No intake arithmetic is done; the samples were whole fruit, and the effects of washing, peeling or canning were not searched. · CFIA chemical residue monitoring (2016–2023) · A
- Salmonella · Worth knowing · A sudden, one-off illness risk: a hazard of uncooked whole peaches from a contaminated lot, not a concentration. The review reports 57 ill and 12 hospitalised in Canada and 101 ill and 28 hospitalised in the US; no outbreak strain was recovered from peaches (Salmonella Alachua and Montevideo were), and adjacent animal operations were suggested as a source. · PubMed 40287140 · B

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.
