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 1 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 21 kg (46 lb) a day; an adult at more than 100 kg.One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):under 1% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of a adult's daily limit
- Perchlorate: typically 1.9 ppb (FDA, 20 samples, 2008-2012).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 6.2 kg (14 lb) a day; an adult at about 29 kg (64 lb).One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):2% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of a adult's daily limit
- Lead, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

- Cadmium in Brown gravy, canned or bottled: found in 2 of 3, average 0.7, highest 1.1 ppb (2018-2020)
