Rice finding 533
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice grain unspecified · Cadmium (Cd) · Sample count unreported.
Selected finding and reference
Sample count unreported. Basis: dry weight.
no non-detects reported
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
Collection date unreported
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
rice grains collected from farms
Sampling site within one study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
'methodology described by Bandara et al. (2008)'; graphite furnace AAS (GBC GF 3000) named for water; food method not described in this paper.
no non-detects reported
Source inconsistency noted (does not affect this value): maximum 0.194 mg/kg here exceeds the 0.0925 mg/kg maximum given for the 'recent study' in Section 3 and Table 3; the two datasets are not reconciled.
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.

No moisture, cooking-yield or species conversion is applied to the original finding above. Any basis conversion used for its HMI comparison is stated separately with the numerical target.
