FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.
- Cadmium: typically 26.1 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 590 g (21 oz) a day; an adult at about 2.7 kg (6 lb).One serving (1 roll with icing, 99 g, from the label):17% of a toddler's daily limit4% of an adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 1.75 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.
FDA samples behind these numbers
- Lead in Flour, white, all-purpose: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.63, highest 4.9 ppb (2018-2020)
- Lead in Pie crust: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
