Rice finding 1666

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

James et al. 2020

White rice · Total mercury (tHg) · 1 rice samples (single result each).

Selected finding and reference

1.43 µg/kg (individual sample)Individual sample.

1 rice samples (single result each). Basis: unspecified (source does not state dry or as-sold weight).

No LOD/LOQ or non-detects reported; all 29 printed values are numeric.

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.

Selected comparison

Lower1.43 versus 2.55 µg/kgThailand: 1.43 µg/kg (individual sample); brown rice (Thailand): 2.55 µg/kg (individual sample). Table 1, row Sample ID 143-9; p.2; reference Table 1, row Sample ID 143-12; p.2.Target: 1; reference: 1 rice samples (single result each). Same source, analyte, statistic, basis and analytical method. Subgroups can share samples with the study total. A descriptive difference, not a significance test, treatment effect or safety judgment.

Reported growing area.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits

ICP-MS; 'quantified per ng of element / g sample'.

No LOD/LOQ or non-detects reported; all 29 printed values are numeric.

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.
