Typical for milk additives

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 4.7 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches FDA's daily limit at about 480 g (17 oz) a day; an adult at about 1.9 kg (4.2 lb).
One serving (1 tbsp, 15 ml, from the label):
3% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of an adult's daily limit
Cadmium: typically 6.5 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 2.3 kg (5.1 lb) a day; an adult at about 11 kg (24 lb).
One serving (1 tbsp, 15 ml, from the label):
under 1% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of an adult's daily limit
Mercury, Arsenic (total), Perchlorate: usually below 3 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
