Typical for savoury bakery products

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 20.8 ppb (FDA, 33 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 710 g (25 oz) a day; an adult at about 3.3 kg (7.3 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
14% of a toddler's daily limit
3% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 6.61 ppb (FDA, 33 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Perchlorate: typically 5.5 ppb (FDA, 20 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1 kg (2.2 lb) a day; an adult at about 4.8 kg (11 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
10% of a toddler's daily limit
2% of a adult's daily limit
Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
