Typical for gravy mix

FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.

FDA samples behind these numbers
  • Lead in Brown gravy, canned or bottled: found in 0 of 3, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Cadmium in Brown gravy, canned or bottled: found in 2 of 3, average 0.7, highest 1.1 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Mercury in Brown gravy, canned or bottled: found in 0 of 3, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Brown gravy, canned or bottled: found in 0 of 3, all below 3 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Perchlorate in Brown gravy, canned or bottled: found in 13 of 20, average 1.69, highest 5 ppb (2008-2012)

"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.
