Typical levels
FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food; these are the closest foods it does test.

A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 610 g (22 oz) a day; an adult at about 2.8 kg (6.2 lb).One serving (100 g, a standard portion):16% of a toddler's daily limit4% of an adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 12.5 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
- Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

Left out of the summary above: Perchlorate. FDA measured it in only some of these foods, so the result describes those foods, not the whole kind.
"Typically" is FDA's middle sample. Daily amounts use the long-run average and each chemical's daily limit (EPA reference dose, or FDA's level for lead) for a 33-lb toddler and a 154-lb adult. ppb = micrograms per kilogram of food. Source: FDA Total Diet Study.
