Rice finding 1832

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

Centre 2012

Cooked white rice (TDS item 'Rice, white', prepared as consumed; exposure mapping 'cooked white rice (including congee)') · Inorganic arsenic (iAs) · 4 composite samples (4 per rice item, each from 3 purchases).

Selected finding and reference

16–26 µg/kg (range)Range.

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, white

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.
