Raw basmati rice (uncooked ingredient) · Aluminium (Al) · 3 one raw basmati rice ingredient lot analysed in triplicate.

Selected finding and reference

15,200 µg/kg (mean ± 1,020 SD)Mean.

3 one raw basmati rice ingredient lot analysed in triplicate. Basis: unspecified (raw ingredient as purchased; drying before digestion not stated for raw ingredients).

none; all values quantified

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

Collection date unreported

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

Geographic scope

basmati rice purchased from the

Purchase or reporting market; growing origin not identified.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits

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.
