Typical for snack, energy & granola bars

What FDA found when it bought and tested this kind of food across the US. These are not tests of this product.

Cadmium: typically 7.4 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.8 kg (4 lb) a day; an adult at about 8.3 kg (18 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
6% of a toddler's daily limit
1% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 20 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020). 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 Granola bar: found in 0 of 3, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Granola bar: found in 3 of 3, average 8.47, highest 11 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Granola bar: found in 0 of 3, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Granola bar: found in 3 of 3, average 21.7, highest 28 ppb (2018-2020)

"Typically" is FDA's middle sample. Daily amounts use the long-run average and each chemical's daily limit (EPA reference dose, or FDA's level for lead) for a 33-lb toddler and a 154-lb adult. ppb = micrograms per kilogram of food. Source: FDA Total Diet Study.
