Rice finding 2275

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

Moreda-Pineiro et al. 2020

Rice grain, 'wild rice' described as a mixture of white and brown rice (Oryza, not Zizania per the authors' description) · Inorganic arsenic (iAs) · 1 commercial rice samples (single packages, replicate determinations).

Selected finding and reference

93 µg/kg (individual sample ± 17 SD)Individual sample.

1 commercial rice samples (single packages, replicate determinations). Basis: unspecified (as-purchased ground rice; no drying step described).

HMI baseline position

Limited data: Held: iAs (93±17) exceeds total As (92±11) and the iAs percentage is printed as 101±15%; within SD but physically iAs cannot exceed tAs. Missing evidence never means low contamination.

Held: iAs (93±17) exceeds total As (92±11) and the iAs percentage is printed as 101±15%; within SD but physically iAs cannot exceed tAs.

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

Collection date unreported

No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.

Geographic scope

Wild rice

Rice variety or type within one study.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits

Total As: microwave HNO3/H2O2 digestion, ICP-MS (NexION 300X). As species: ultrasound-assisted extraction (1:1 methanol/water), ionic-imprinted-polymer vortex-assisted dispersive micro-SPE pre-concentration (factor 10), HPLC-ICP-MS (PRP-X100), standard-addition quantification.

none (quantified)

Held: iAs (93±17) exceeds total As (92±11) and the iAs percentage is printed as 101±15%; within SD but physically iAs cannot exceed tAs.

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.
