HMI use

This is an external regulatory value for plant-milks-rice-based. It is not an HMTc threshold. The comparison layer may place it next to field findings from damato2026-inorganic-arsenic-rice-based-beverages because the source reports the same product matrix, analyte species, and unit basis.

Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/465 introduced the 0.030 mg/kg value for non-alcoholic rice-based drinks by amending Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006. Regulation (EU) 2023/465 was later implicitly repealed when Regulation (EU) 2023/915 replaced and consolidated the EU contaminants framework. For current-facing comparison tables, cite Regulation (EU) 2023/915; retain 2023/465 as the historical amendment trail.
