>>18066148Yes. I found two useful independent lab sources, including a test specifically for Icelandic Glacial Sparkling Spring Water.
Lead result
The strongest direct evidence is the NSF laboratory report for Icelandic Glacial Sparkling Spring Water, dated March 5, 2025. It tested a sample identified as “Icelandic Glacial | Sparkling Spring Water,” lot L25024, sampled February 10, 2025. SShopify
For lead (Pb):
Result: ND — Not Detected
Reporting limit: 0.0005 mg/L
That's equivalent to 0.5 µg/L (0.5 ppb).
The FDA quality limit listed in the report is 0.005 mg/L (5 ppb).
The overall report result was PASS. SShopify
So, for that particular sparkling-water sample, lead was below 0.5 ppb. It is more accurate to say “<0.5 ppb” rather than “zero lead,” because ND means it was below the laboratory's reporting threshold.

Independent 2026 test of the glass bottle
I also found a separate 2026 independent bottled-water study that tested Icelandic Glacial in glass packaging. Its laboratory reporting limit for lead was considerably lower:
Lead reporting limit: 0.4 ppb
Icelandic Glacial: below reporting limit
The study tested aluminum, lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. AABNRF
That means this independent test supports lead <0.4 ppb for the particular Icelandic Glacial glass-bottle sample tested.

What this tells us about the glass bottle
This is actually fairly reassuring regarding lead leaching from the glass/bottle packaging: the 2026 test of glass-bottled Icelandic Glacial found lead below 0.4 ppb, while the 2025 NSF test of the sparkling water found it below 0.5 ppb. AABNRF+1
One important limitation: these are individual samples/batches, not proof that every bottle ever produced has exactly the same concentration.
If you'd like, I can also dig specifically for lead, antimony, arsenic, cadmium and other metals leaching from the glass/cap, rather than just metals naturally present in the water.
