Rice finding 1622
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Polished (white) rice · Total mercury (tHg) · 715 GEMS/Food submissions.
Selected finding and reference
715 GEMS/Food submissions. Basis: Uncooked grain as analysed (GEMS/Food "As is" or unstated basis).
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 overlapWHO EURO: median 0.33–3 µg/kg (censoring bounds); brown rice (WHO EURO): median 1.2–3 µg/kg (censoring bounds). Reporting limits overlap, so the direction is unresolved.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.

No moisture, cooking-yield or species conversion is applied to the original finding above. Any basis conversion used for its HMI comparison is stated separately with the numerical target.
