Compared with FDA's crisped rice cereal: what FDA found when it bought and tested it across the US. These are not tests of this product.
- Cadmium: typically 14 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 690 g (24 oz) a day; an adult at about 3.2 kg (7.1 lb).One serving (1/6 of package, 47 g, from the label):7% of a toddler's daily limit1% of an adult's daily limit
- Mercury: typically 3 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 630 g (22 oz) a day; an adult at about 3 kg (6.6 lb).One serving (1/6 of package, 47 g, from the label):7% of a toddler's daily limit2% of an adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 170 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
- Inorganic arsenic: typically 90.4 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 9.7 g (0.34 oz) a day; an adult at about 45 g (1.6 oz).One serving (1/6 of package, 47 g, from the label):▲ 4.9× a toddler's daily limit▲ 1× an adult's daily limit
- Lead, Perchlorate: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
Total arsenic counts every form of arsenic, including less harmful ones; inorganic arsenic is the more harmful part of it, so its number is part of the total.
FDA samples behind these numbers
- Lead in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.5, highest 4.5 ppb (2018-2020)
- Cadmium in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 21.7, highest 39 ppb (2018-2020)
- Mercury in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 2 of 3 samples, average 2.37, highest 4.1 ppb (2018-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 170, highest 210 ppb (2018-2020)
- Inorganic arsenic in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 93.1, highest 103 ppb (2018-2020)
- Perchlorate in Crisped rice cereal: found in 4 of 20 samples, average 0.45, highest 3 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.
