- Cadmium: typically 5.78 ppb (FDA, 12 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) a day; an adult at about 12 kg (26 lb).One serving (1 bar, 34 g, from the label):1% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of an adult's daily limit
- Lead, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
