Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

Consumer 2014

White jasmine rice, Thailand · Inorganic arsenic (iAs) · Sample count unreported.

Selected finding and reference

96.2 µg/kg (95th percentile)95th percentile.

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

Thailand (jasmine)

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.
