Rice finding 2693
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Refined rice, prepared as consumed · Methylmercury (MeHg) · 2 composite samples (12 sub-samples each).
Selected finding and reference
2 composite samples (12 sub-samples each). Basis: fresh weight (as consumed).
lower bound (results <LOD set to 0, LOD-LOQ set to LOD); 50% detection (1 of 2 composites)
HMI baseline position
Limited data: No compatible reference units exist for this analyte, material and basis after the complete rice ledger. Missing evidence never means low contamination.
No compatible reference units exist for this analyte, material and basis after the complete rice ledger.
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
2021–2022
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
Refined rice
Rice variety or type within one study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
analysed by ANSES Laboratory for Food Safety (LSAL) under ISO/IEC 17025; specific technique not stated in opinion; MeHg/inorganic Hg speciation for seafood and rice products.
lower bound (results <LOD set to 0, LOD-LOQ set to LOD); 50% detection (1 of 2 composites)
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.
