Typical for bread/bakery products variety packs

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

Cadmium: typically 17.2 ppb (FDA, 81 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 890 g (31 oz) a day; an adult at about 4.2 kg (9.3 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
11% of a toddler's daily limit
2% of a adult's daily limit
Arsenic (total): typically 3.2 ppb (FDA, 81 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
Perchlorate: typically 1.25 ppb (FDA, 40 samples, 2008-2012). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 5.2 kg (11 lb) a day; an adult at about 24 kg (53 lb).
One serving (100 g (3½ oz)):
2% of a toddler's daily limit
under 1% of a adult's daily limit
Lead, Mercury: 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.
