Rice finding 1613
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Polished (white) rice, cooked · Total mercury (tHg) · 22 GEMS/Food submissions.
Selected finding and reference
22 GEMS/Food submissions. Basis: Cooked rice as consumed.
ND, 0 or "<x" with a limit = interval 0 to LOD (LOQ where LOD absent); HMI-calculated medians carry lower/upper bounds
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

HMI-calculated descriptive summary of individual GEMS/Food submissions. Country identity is not exported; WHO region is a reporting region, not production origin. EURO and European Union labels can hold overlapping national submissions the export does not let us match.
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.
