Typical for gelatin, gels, pectins & desserts

What FDA found when it bought and tested this kind of food across the US. These are not tests of this product.

Cadmium: typically 2.15 ppb (FDA, 6 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 6.1 kg (13 lb) a day; an adult at about 29 kg (64 lb).
One serving (1 unit, 100 g, from the label):
2% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of an adult's daily limit
Lead, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

FDA samples behind these numbers

Lead in Gelatin dessert, strawberry: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 4 ppb (2018-2020)
Lead in Pudding, ready-to-eat, chocolate: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.43, highest 4.3 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Gelatin dessert, strawberry: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
Cadmium in Pudding, ready-to-eat, chocolate: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 4.87, highest 6.4 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Gelatin dessert, strawberry: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
Mercury in Pudding, ready-to-eat, chocolate: found in 0 of 3 samples, all below 1 ppb (2018-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Gelatin dessert, strawberry: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.37, highest 4.1 ppb (2018-2020)
Arsenic (total) in Pudding, ready-to-eat, chocolate: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.07, highest 3.2 ppb (2018-2020)
Perchlorate in Gelatin dessert, any flavor: found in 1 of 20 samples, average 0.15, highest 3 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.
