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, 44 g, from the label):7% of a toddler's daily limit2% 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.
