Cadmium: typically 11 ppb (FDA, 9 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) a day; an adult at about 6.4 kg (14 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):

One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
13% of a toddler's daily limit
3% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 110 ppb (FDA, 9 samples, 2018-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Inorganic arsenic: typically 71.3 ppb (FDA, 9 samples, 2018-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 12 g (0.42 oz) a day; an adult at about 58 g (2 oz).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
▲ 8.1× a toddler's daily limit
▲ 1.7× a adult's daily limit
Lead: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
