Rice finding 1830
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Cooked unpolished rice (TDS item 'Rice, unpolished', prepared as consumed) · Inorganic arsenic (iAs) · 4 composite samples (4 per rice item, each from 3 purchases).
Selected finding and reference
4 composite samples (4 per rice item, each from 3 purchases). Basis: cooked as consumed (TDS foods prepared as normally consumed).
no non-detects in range
HMI baseline position
Limited data: The source reports a range, percentile or extreme value; only a mean, median or sample result can be positioned against a reference. Missing evidence never means low contamination.
The source reports a range, percentile or extreme value; only a mean, median or sample result can be positioned against a reference.
Reference version and interpretation
Frozen evidence selection: 2026-10-22. Method: hmi-pooled-reference-v2.
No admitted reference
The reference is computed by HMI from admitted evidence, not copied from a study baseline. It describes the evidence currently in this scope; it is not a worldwide or current-lot benchmark. Source, year and region filters do not change it. Different HMI scopes are not one common ranking.
Collection period
2010–2011
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
Rice, unpolished
Rice variety or type within one study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
HCl solubilisation, reduction, chloroform extraction and back-extraction of arsenite, dry-ashing, HG-ICP-MS; iAs = As(III)+As(V), small MMA co-extraction noted.
no non-detects in range
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.
