  The National Confectioners Association responded that the Florida results used EPA Method 6010D, a method validated for soil and water rather than food, that the method measures total arsenic without distinguishing the more toxic inorganic form, and that the reported levels are substantially higher than those found in the FDA's Total Diet Study.
