Typical for pizza
What FDA found when it bought and tested this kind of food across the US. These are not tests of this product.
- Cadmium: typically 20 ppb (FDA, 27 samples, 2017-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 730 g (26 oz) a day; an adult at about 3.4 kg (7.5 lb).One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):14% of a toddler's daily limit3% of a adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 3.7 ppb (FDA, 27 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 Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 2 of 27, average 0.32, highest 4.6 ppb (2017-2020)
