Rice finding 1370

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

Gama et al. 2025

Polished white short-grain rice (Carolino) · Lead (Pb) · 1 rice grain samples (one per harvest/type).

Selected finding and reference

<10 µg/kgBelow detection limit.

1 rice grain samples (one per harvest/type). Basis: unspecified (grains milled to powder; drying not stated).

<0.01 mg/kg

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

2022

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

Geographic scope

Carolino white rice 2022

Rice variety or type within one 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.

<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.
