Partially hydrogenated oils
- US (FDA): Authorization revoked FDA determined in 2015 that they are no longer generally recognized as safe; makers had to remove them, with final compliance dates in 2018-2020. Labels on file may predate that. (80 FR 34650 (2015)) Source

Typical for pizza mixes & other dry dinners
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 19.1 ppb (FDA, 30 samples, 2017-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 760 g (27 oz) a day; an adult at about 3.6 kg (7.9 lb).One serving (2 oz, 56 g, from the label):7% of a toddler's daily limit2% of an adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 3.33 ppb (FDA, 30 samples, 2017-2020). 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 Macaroni and cheese, prepared from boxed mix: found in 0 of 3, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
- Lead in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 2 of 27, average 0.32, highest 4.6 ppb (2017-2020)
- Cadmium in Macaroni and cheese, prepared from boxed mix: found in 3 of 3, average 11.1, highest 13 ppb (2018-2020)
- Cadmium in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 27 of 27, average 20.6, highest 25 ppb (2017-2020)
- Mercury in Macaroni and cheese, prepared from boxed mix: found in 0 of 3, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
- Mercury in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 0 of 27, all below 1 ppb (2017-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Macaroni and cheese, prepared from boxed mix: found in 0 of 3, all below 3 ppb (2018-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 25 of 27, average 3.74, highest 6 ppb (2017-2020)
- Perchlorate in Macaroni and cheese, prepared from box mix: found in 19 of 20, average 3.5, highest 5 ppb (2008-2012)
Left out of the summary above: Perchlorate. FDA measured it in only some of these foods, so the result describes those foods, not the whole kind.
"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.
