Typical for frozen appetizers & hors d'oeuvres

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 12.7 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) a day; an adult at about 5.3 kg (12 lb).
One serving (2 sandwiches, 136 g, from the label):
12% of a toddler's daily limit
3% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 44.4 ppb (FDA, 57 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 Chicken nuggets, fast-food: found in 1 of 27 samples, average 0.16, highest 4.3 ppb (2017-2020)
Lead in Fish sticks or patty, frozen, oven-cooked: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.4, highest 4.2 ppb (2018-2020)
Lead in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 2 of 27 samples, average 0.32, highest 4.6 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Chicken nuggets, fast-food: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 5.7, highest 8.3 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Fish sticks or patty, frozen, oven-cooked: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 12, highest 13 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 20.6, highest 25 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in Chicken nuggets, fast-food: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 1 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in Fish sticks or patty, frozen, oven-cooked: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 7.13, highest 9.8 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 1 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Chicken nuggets, fast-food: found in 4 of 27 samples, average 0.56, highest 4.8 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Fish sticks or patty, frozen, oven-cooked: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 757, highest 810 ppb (2018-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Pizza, cheese, fast-food: found in 25 of 27 samples, average 3.74, highest 6 ppb (2017-2020)
Perchlorate in Chicken nuggets, fast-food: found in 13 of 20 samples, average 3.42, highest 12.5 ppb (2008-2012)
Perchlorate in Fish sticks or patty, frozen, oven-cooked: found in 18 of 20 samples, average 6.03, highest 51 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.
