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 (100 g (3½ oz)):
11% of a toddler's daily limit
2% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 3.63 ppb (FDA, 84 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Perchlorate: typically 2.33 ppb (FDA, 60 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 3.4 kg (7.5 lb) a day; an adult at about 16 kg (35 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
3% of a toddler's daily limit
