Typical for pizza

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

Cadmium: typically 20 ppb (FDA, 27 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 730 g (26 oz) a day; an adult at about 3.4 kg (7.5 lb).
One serving (0.2 pizza, 143 g, from the label):
20% of a toddler's daily limit
4% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 3.7 ppb (FDA, 27 samples, 2017-2020). 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 Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 2 of 27 samples, average 0.32, highest 4.6 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 20.6, highest 25 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 1 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 25 of 27 samples, average 3.74, highest 6 ppb (2017-2020)

"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.
