Rice finding 2146
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
White basmati/Texmati rice, as sold · Inorganic arsenic (iAs) · Sample count unreported.
Selected finding and reference
Sample count unreported. Basis: as sold (uncooked); dry/fresh basis not stated.
Report does not state LOD/LOQ or how non-detects were handled; no non-detects are printed.
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
2012–2014
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
California
Reported growing area.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
Total As: HNO3/H2O2 digestion (EPA 3050B), ICP-DRC-MS (EPA 200.8). Species (arsenite, arsenate, MMA, DMA): TFA extraction, IC-ICP-CRC-MS per FDA EAM 4.11. 'Total inorganic arsenic' = arsenite + arsenate..
Report does not state LOD/LOQ or how non-detects were handled; no non-detects are printed.
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.
