Typical for pre-packaged fruit & vegetables

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 18.5 ppb (FDA, 108 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 700 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 2.13 ppb (FDA, 108 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Perchlorate: typically 5 ppb (FDA, 80 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 890 g (31 oz) a day; an adult at about 4.2 kg (9.3 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
11% of a toddler's daily limit
