Typical for weight control
FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.
- Lead: typically 3.2 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches FDA's daily limit at about 660 g (23 oz) a day; an adult at about 2.6 kg (5.7 lb).One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):15% of a toddler's daily limit4% of a adult's daily limit
- Cadmium: typically 6.15 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 2 kg (4.4 lb) a day; an adult at about 9.4 kg (21 lb).One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):5% of a toddler's daily limit1% of a adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 1.95 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
- Mercury: usually below 1 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
FDA samples behind these numbers

"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.
