• Cadmium: typically 3.2 ppb (FDA, 5 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) a day; an adult at about 19 kg (42 lb).
  One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):

  2% of a toddler's daily limit

  under 1% of a adult's daily limit
• Perchlorate: typically 0.5 ppb (FDA, 20 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 8.5 kg (19 lb) a day; an adult at about 40 kg (88 lb).
  One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):

  1% of a toddler's daily limit

"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.
