Typical for breakfast sandwiches, biscuits & meals

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 12.3 ppb (FDA, 108 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) a day; an adult at about 5.6 kg (12 lb).
One serving (1 burrito, 269 g, from the label):
22% of a toddler's daily limit
5% of an adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 2.83 ppb (FDA, 108 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Lead, Mercury: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

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.
