Typical for frozen dinners & entrees

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 7.87 ppb (FDA, 9 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.9 kg (4.2 lb) a day; an adult at about 8.7 kg (19 lb).
One serving (1 package, 432 g, from the label):
23% of a toddler's daily limit
5% of an adult's daily limit
Perchlorate: typically 2.67 ppb (FDA, 60 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 4 kg (8.8 lb) a day; an adult at about 19 kg (42 lb).
One serving (1 package, 432 g, from the label):
11% of a toddler's daily limit
2% of an adult's daily limit
Lead, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
