Rice finding 2594
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Polished white rice (commercial) · Dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) · 14 rice samples (field composites per site; commercial packs).
Selected finding and reference
14 rice samples (field composites per site; commercial packs). Basis: dry weight.
Values below LOD assigned 1/2 LOD by the source for statistics (Section 2.5); medians/min reported as 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.

Reported growing area.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
Freeze-dried, ball-milled; 1% HNO3 microwave extraction with H2O2 oxidation, IC-ICP-MS (Thermo AS7 column, iCAP Q) for As species; HNO3/H2O2 microwave digestion and ICP-MS for Cd.
Values below LOD assigned 1/2 LOD by the source for statistics (Section 2.5); medians/min reported as 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.
