Typical for vegetable and lentil mixes
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 3.2 ppb (FDA, 5 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) a day; an adult at about 19 kg (42 lb).One serving (0.5 cup, 27 g, from the label):under 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.
FDA samples behind these numbers
- Lead in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 4 ppb (2020)
- Lead in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 4 ppb (2020)
- Lead in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
- Cadmium in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 1.3, highest 1.3 ppb (2020)
- Cadmium in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 1.5, highest 1.5 ppb (2020)
- Cadmium in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 5.07, highest 6.7 ppb (2018-2020)
- Mercury in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 1 ppb (2020)
- Mercury in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 1 ppb (2020)
- Mercury in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Beans, garbanzo (chickpeas), canned, drained solids: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 4.9, highest 4.9 ppb (2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Lentils, dry, cooked: found in 0 of 1 sample, all below 3 ppb (2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 3 ppb (2018-2020)
- Perchlorate in Mixed vegetables, frozen, boiled: found in 10 of 20 samples, average 1.23, highest 6 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.
