Typical contaminant levels for a kind of food
food_categoryRead-onlyIdempotent
For a kind of food (a category slug such as milk, rice, baby-infant-foods-beverages, cereal, water), returns FDA's typical levels of metals and perchlorate, whether FDA's foods are a close or rough stand-in, and the products in that category with lab results: the 50 lowest in the most-tested chemical by default (products below the lab's limit first), with tested_total giving the full count. Pass sort to rank by another chemical, order=high for highest first, and all=true for every tested product.
