- 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 (1 pizza, 158 g, from the label):22% of a toddler's daily limit5% 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.
