Typical for savoury bakery products

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 20.8 ppb (FDA, 33 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 710 g (25 oz) a day; an adult at about 3.3 kg (7.3 lb).
One serving (257 g, from the label):
36% of a toddler's daily limit
8% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 6.61 ppb (FDA, 33 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 Biscuits, fast-food: found in 2 of 27 samples, average 0.42, highest 6.8 ppb (2017-2020)
Lead in Crackers, butter-type: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 2.43, highest 7.3 ppb (2018-2020)
Lead in Crackers, cheese: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 4.83, highest 5.5 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Biscuits, fast-food: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 19.4, highest 26 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Crackers, butter-type: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 35.7, highest 43 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Crackers, cheese: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 21.7, highest 25 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Biscuits, fast-food: found in 1 of 27 samples, average 0.04, highest 1.1 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in Crackers, butter-type: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Crackers, cheese: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Biscuits, fast-food: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 6.9, highest 10 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Crackers, butter-type: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 7.6, highest 7.9 ppb (2018-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Crackers, cheese: found in 2 of 3 samples, average 3.13, highest 6.3 ppb (2018-2020)
Perchlorate in Crackers, butter-type: found in 16 of 20 samples, average 10.2, highest 37 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.

Not tested

No published results for this product cover: Metals, Perchlorate, Phthalates (plastic softeners), Phthalate substitutes, Bisphenols. That means nobody has published a test, not that these are absent.
