Typical for frozen bread & dough

FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.

FDA samples behind these numbers
  • Lead in Bread, white roll/bun (hamburger/hotdog): found in 5 of 27 samples, average 0.91, highest 6.7 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Lead in Bread, white, enriched, pre-sliced: found in 9 of 27 samples, average 2.28, highest 23 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Lead in Pie crust: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Cadmium in Bread, white roll/bun (hamburger/hotdog): found in 27 of 27 samples, average 24.6, highest 37 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Cadmium in Bread, white, enriched, pre-sliced: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 27.4, highest 37 ppb (2017-2020)

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.

Not tested

No published results for this product cover: Metals, Perchlorate, Phthalates (plastic softeners), Phthalate substitutes, Bisphenols. That means nobody has published a test, not that these are absent.
