Typical for frozen breakfast sandwiches, biscuits & meals

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 15.9 ppb (FDA, 84 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 940 g (33 oz) a day; an adult at about 4.4 kg (9.7 lb).
One serving (1 piece, 106 g, from the label):
11% of a toddler's daily limit
2% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 3.63 ppb (FDA, 84 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

Lead in English muffin, plain, toasted: found in 3 of 27 samples, average 0.79, highest 9.7 ppb (2017-2020)
Lead in Pancakes, frozen, heated: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Biscuits, fast-food: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 19.4, highest 26 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Eggs, hard-boiled: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 1 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in English muffin, plain, toasted: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 28.6, highest 39 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Pancakes, frozen, heated: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 13.3, highest 16 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 Eggs, hard-boiled: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 1 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in English muffin, plain, toasted: found in 1 of 27 samples, average 0.04, highest 1 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in Pancakes, frozen, heated: 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 Eggs, hard-boiled: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 3 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in English muffin, plain, toasted: found in 26 of 27 samples, average 5.06, highest 10 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Pancakes, frozen, heated: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.4, highest 4.2 ppb (2018-2020)
Perchlorate in Eggs, boiled: found in 13 of 20 samples, average 1.09, highest 2 ppb (2008-2012)
Perchlorate in English muffin, plain, toasted: found in 15 of 20 samples, average 5.36, highest 34.6 ppb (2008-2012)
Perchlorate in Pancakes, frozen, heated: found in 16 of 20 samples, average 2.81, 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.
