Typical levels

What FDA found when it bought and tested this kind of food around the US.

Perchlorate: typically 1.5 ppb (FDA, 40 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 6.4 kg (14 lb) a day; an adult at about 30 kg (66 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
2% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of a adult's daily limit
Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic (total): usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.

"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.
