Rice finding 1197

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

Mahmood et al. 2015

Rice grain unspecified (packed retail rice, milling degree not stated) · Total chromium (Cr) · 5 rice samples (~250 g), five per brand/type, 10 types; Section 2.1 also says 210 packed rice samples (15-20 kg) were selected from markets.

Selected finding and reference

360 µg/kg (mean ± 160 SD)Mean.

5 rice samples (~250 g), five per brand/type, 10 types; Section 2.1 also says 210 packed rice samples (15-20 kg) were selected from markets. Basis: dry weight.

no non-detects reported; LOD not reported

HMI baseline position

Limited data: Held: discussion text states imported Cr '≥40 mg/kg' and Abdossalam '55 mg/kg', a x100 unit slip versus Table 3 (0.36-0.55 µg/g). Missing evidence never means low contamination.

Held: discussion text states imported Cr '≥40 mg/kg' and Abdossalam '55 mg/kg', a x100 unit slip versus Table 3 (0.36-0.55 µg/g).

Reference version and interpretation

Frozen evidence selection: 2026-10-22. Method: hmi-pooled-reference-v2.

No admitted reference

The reference is computed by HMI from admitted evidence, not copied from a study baseline. It describes the evidence currently in this scope; it is not a worldwide or current-lot benchmark. Source, year and region filters do not change it. Different HMI scopes are not one common ranking.

Rice variety or type within one study.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits

AOAC 999.11 dry ashing at 450 °C after drying at 105 °C 48 h, 6M HCl, residue in 0.1 M HNO3; flame and graphite furnace AAS (Shimadzu AA-680); triplicate digestion, three readings each.

no non-detects reported; LOD not reported

Held: discussion text states imported Cr '≥40 mg/kg' and Abdossalam '55 mg/kg', a x100 unit slip versus Table 3 (0.36-0.55 µg/g).

Shared samples and study overlap

Subgroup rows, statistics of the same subgroup and the study total share samples; they are not independent results.

Each table row describes a food/analyte result. Repeated rows do not add independent samples or datasets. No cross-study trend is calculated in this comparison mode.
