Typical for chili & stew

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

Cadmium: typically 6.25 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.8 kg (4 lb) a day; an adult at about 8.4 kg (19 lb).
One serving (1 cup, 244 g, from the label):
14% of a toddler's daily limit
3% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 1.65 ppb (FDA, 6 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 Chili con carne with beans, canned: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 2.2, highest 6.6 ppb (2018-2020)
Lead in Soup, vegetable beef, canned, ready to serve: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Chili con carne with beans, canned: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 6.33, highest 7.3 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Soup, vegetable beef, canned, ready to serve: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 10.3, highest 20 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Chili con carne with beans, canned: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Soup, vegetable beef, canned, ready to serve: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)

Perchlorate in Chili con carne w/ beans, canned: found in 18 of 20 samples, average 2.39, highest 6 ppb (2008-2012)

Left out of the summary above: Perchlorate. FDA measured it in only some of these foods, so the result describes those foods, not the whole kind.

"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.
