Rice finding 1364

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

European et al. 2004

Rice (form not stated; food group 6.1) · Lead (Pb) · 42 individual rice samples (Italy dataset IT 22).

Selected finding and reference

<50 µg/kgBelow detection limit.

42 individual rice samples (Italy dataset IT 22). Basis: unspecified.

Mean reported only as <0.050 mg/kg (below 50 ug/kg); not imputed

Low / Moderate / High rating

No relative rating: reporting limits leave the target median bounded. Overlapping bounds do not establish equal levels or a direction of difference.

Selected comparison

Limits overlapNo compatible same-study subgroup with the same statistic, basis and analyte.Within-study comparisons use the same source, analyte, statistic and analytical method.

Collection period

1997–2002

No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.

Geographic scope

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits

not stated per dataset; Member State submissions.

Mean reported only as <0.050 mg/kg (below 50 ug/kg); not imputed

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.
