Rice finding 561
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice grain (Oryza sativa), field-collected; form (paddy/husked/milled) not stated · Cadmium (Cd) · 32 composite rice samples (one composite per food item per sampling site).
Selected finding and reference
32 composite rice samples (one composite per food item per sampling site). Basis: dry weight (fresh samples homogenised then oven-dried at 105 °C for 24 h before digestion; Table 3 does not label the basis).
No LOD/LOQ or non-detect handling reported; all values printed as quantified
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
2013
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
rice
Sampling site within one study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
Microwave digestion (HNO3 69% 5 mL + H2O2 30% 2 mL, Berghof), ICP-MS.
No LOD/LOQ or non-detect handling reported; all values printed as quantified
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.
