Rice finding 1368
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice grain (pooled: 3 polished white Carolino, 1 husked 'wild' long-grain, 1 husked brown) · Lead (Pb) · 5 rice grain samples (one per harvest/type).
Selected finding and reference
5 rice grain samples (one per harvest/type). Basis: unspecified (grains milled to powder; drying not stated).
minimum below quantification limit (<0.01 mg/kg)
HMI baseline position
Limited data: The source reports a range, percentile or extreme value; only a mean, median or sample result can be positioned against a reference. Missing evidence never means low contamination.
The source reports a range, percentile or extreme value; only a mean, median or sample result can be positioned against a reference.
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.
Collection period
2020–2022
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
All BVL rice samples
All samples in the study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
ICP-MS (Agilent 7700) after HNO3+H2O2 digestion of 0.25 g milled grain; at least two aliquots per sample.
minimum below quantification limit (<0.01 mg/kg)
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.
