			Range	Mean ± SD
Total of samples	55	11 (20%) *	0.00–450	40 ± 99
Starter formula	49	7 (14%)	0.00–420	20 ± 67 b
Follow-on formula	6	4 (67%)	0.00–450	180 ± 185 a

* Value in parentheses indicates the samples percentage above the limit set by the Codex Alimentarius (25 ng/L) with respect to the total. ^a,b Different online letters indicate significant mean differences among the different types of infant formulae (p < 0.05).
