Raspberries, frozen

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.

Change the amount to rescale the first column. Nutrients a database doesn't list are missing, not zero.

Hazard rows as the dataset rates them

• Cadmium · Nothing to watch: under the limit · A daily serving adds 3.6% 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. · CFIA chemical residue monitoring (2016–2023) · A
• Lead · Nothing to watch: doesn’t double average intake · No cap: no safe limit is set for lead (EFSA 2010 benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL01)), so no grams figure is given. This is the same CFIA figure as for fresh raspberries, since the commodity does not say fresh or frozen: mean 2.27 µg/kg in 83 samples (69% non-detects), 0.182 µg in a serving. A daily serving adds about 0.5% to the average adult's lead intake (35 µg/day), far from doubling it. · CFIA chemical residue monitoring (2016–2023) · A
• Uncooked frozen berries · Context · Shown as context, not rated: in a CFIA retail survey (2016-2021), norovirus RNA was found in four frozen raspberry samples (1 of type GI, 3 of type GII) among 3,292 frozen fruit samples of all kinds, and no hepatitis A RNA in any frozen sample. The raspberry sample count is not in the abstract. Overall prevalence was 0.36%, with no significant difference between fruit types. Whether Health Canada advises boiling frozen berries was not searched for. · PubMed 35905649 · A

Oxalate, phytate and gut-tolerance measurements

• fodmap excess fructose: derived: fructose 3.24 minus glucose 2.87 = 0.370 g/100 g; 0.30 g in an 80 g serving; Varney 2017 line 0.40 g per serve for fresh fruit where it is the only FODMAP, so below it UNRESOLVED (checker): Varney's 0.40 g line applies where excess fructose is the only FODMAP present; kestose (0.016 g/100 g) is also present, so the stricter 0.15 g line could apply. Needs Mikhail's call. g/100 g · fresh weight · frozen, unsweetened · grade B · US food database (USDA SR Legacy)

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.
