Typical for frozen bread & dough

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 25.6 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 600 g (21 oz) a day; an adult at about 2.8 kg (6.2 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
17% of a toddler's daily limit
4% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 5.07 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Perchlorate: typically 2.5 ppb (FDA, 20 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 4.1 kg (9 lb) a day; an adult at about 19 kg (42 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
2% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of a adult's daily limit
Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
