Typical for mexican dinner mixes

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 13.1 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) a day; an adult at about 5.4 kg (12 lb).
One serving (70 g, from the label):
6% of a toddler's daily limit
1% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 2.04 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

FDA samples behind these numbers

Lead in Beans, refried, canned: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
Lead in Tortilla, corn: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 4 ppb (2017-2020)
Lead in Tortilla, flour: found in 3 of 27 samples, average 1, highest 17 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Beans, refried, canned: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 1.87, highest 2 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Tortilla, corn: found in 24 of 27 samples, average 1.53, highest 2.8 ppb (2017-2020)
Cadmium in Tortilla, flour: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 25.6, highest 31 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in Beans, refried, canned: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 0.8, highest 2.4 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Tortilla, corn: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 1 ppb (2017-2020)
Mercury in Tortilla, flour: found in 1 of 27 samples, average 0.13, highest 3.4 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Beans, refried, canned: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 3 ppb (2018-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Tortilla, corn: found in 9 of 27 samples, average 1.81, highest 7.1 ppb (2017-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Tortilla, flour: found in 25 of 27 samples, average 4.63, highest 8.5 ppb (2017-2020)
Perchlorate in Refried beans, canned: found in 2 of 20 samples, average 0.16, highest 2 ppb (2008-2012)
Perchlorate in Tortilla, flour: found in 17 of 20 samples, average 7.22, highest 65 ppb (2008-2012)

Left out of the summary above: Perchlorate. FDA measured it in only some of these foods, so the result describes those foods, not the whole kind.

"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.
