some advice needed (and mini rant).
we bought some of this for this kids at Christmas to find out yesterday that it contains high levels of arsenic:

My lad went down hill last Sunday with what we thought was a bug: stomach pains and cramps, over salivating, listless etc. However, when I saw that news item yesterday we realised that all the symptoms he was displaying match those of arsenic poisoning. He’s actually bounced back by Wednesday, which is unusual for him as he has an immunosuppressant condition.
We’ve been on to 111 who sent to us to a clinic for blood tests to find out they don’t actually do blood tests and there was no physician present only two overstretched nurses, who looked at the wife like she was mentally unstable.
Anyway, the little fella looks & feels ok now, but websites say that arsenic is a heavy metal and can stay within you causing long term damage. The clinic nurses said if we’rw That concerned then we should be at A&E (we were doing what 111 told us to do). Would you go to A&E with this or make a Dr’s appointment?
