Rice finding 173
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice, form not stated · Total arsenic (tAs) · 62 GEMS/Food submissions.
Selected finding and reference
62 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 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
2000–2002
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.

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.
