Seems odd that two different flavors of the same product would have different phthalate content? Would that mean that shelf life could have an impact?

Nice observation ;-) If I'm reading the underlying data[0] correctly, it looks like the threshold for DEHT is significantly lower in the Vanilla tests (<4,500ng) vs the Strawberry tests (<22,500ng)

Edit: I guess that should impact the Substitutes category, though, and not the Phthalates category.
