Typical for bread & muffin 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 18.3 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 850 g (30 oz) a day; an adult at about 4 kg (8.8 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
12% of a toddler's daily limit
3% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 2.49 ppb (FDA, 57 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Perchlorate: typically 2.13 ppb (FDA, 60 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 4.4 kg (9.7 lb) a day; an adult at about 21 kg (46 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
2% 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.
