Rice finding 1627
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Polished (white) rice · Total mercury (tHg) · 53 GEMS/Food submissions.
Selected finding and reference
53 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
Direct comparison only: the reported summaries or non-overlapping reporting bounds establish the displayed descriptive direction, but do not supply an eligible reference distribution for Low / Moderate / High. A reporting bound remains a bound; equal rounded summaries do not establish equivalence.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
per submitting laboratory; AnalyticalQAName retained.
ND, 0 or "<x" with a limit = interval 0 to LOD (LOQ where LOD absent); HMI-calculated medians carry lower/upper bounds
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.
