Typical for other deli

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 0.583 ppb (FDA, 36 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 13 kg (29 lb) a day; an adult at about 59 kg (130 lb).
One serving (5 oz, 140 g, from the label):
1% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of an adult's daily limit
Lead, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

Lead in Luncheon meat, ham: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
Lead in Luncheon meat, turkey: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.4, highest 4.2 ppb (2018-2020)
Lead in Salami, dry/hard: found in 1 of 27 samples, average 0.18, highest 4.9 ppb (2017-2020)

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.
