Typical for chewing gum & mints
FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.
- Arsenic (total): typically 13 ppb (FDA, 3 samples, 2018-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
- Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Perchlorate: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
FDA samples behind these numbers
- Lead in Candy, hard: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
- Cadmium in Candy, hard: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
- Mercury in Candy, hard: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Candy, hard: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 13, highest 15 ppb (2018-2020)
- Perchlorate in Candy, hard, any flavor: found in 1 of 19 samples, average 0.47, highest 9 ppb (2008-2012)
"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.
