Typical for sauces/spreads/dips/condiments

FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.

Lead: typically 7.48 ppb (FDA, 36 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches FDA's daily limit at about 270 g (9.5 oz) a day; an adult at about 1.1 kg (2.4 lb).
One serving (34 g, from the label):
13% of a toddler's daily limit
3% of an adult's daily limit
Cadmium: typically 16.2 ppb (FDA, 36 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 940 g (33 oz) a day; an adult at about 4.4 kg (9.7 lb).
One serving (34 g, from the label):
4% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 4.35 ppb (FDA, 36 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Mercury: usually below 1 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
