Typical for frozen appetizers & hors d'oeuvres

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 12.7 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) a day; an adult at about 5.3 kg (12 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
9% of a toddler's daily limit
2% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 44.4 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Perchlorate: typically 3 ppb (FDA, 40 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 2.2 kg (4.9 lb) a day; an adult at about 10 kg (22 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
4% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of a adult's daily limit
Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
