Typical for baking/cooking mixes/supplies

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 25.2 ppb (FDA, 7 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 610 g (22 oz) a day; an adult at about 2.8 kg (6.2 lb).
One serving (1 roll with icing, 99 g, from the label):
16% of a toddler's daily limit
3% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 12.5 ppb (FDA, 7 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 Baking powder: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 164, highest 164 ppb (2020)
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)

"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.
