Rice finding 610
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Packed retail rice grain (form not stated; cleaned, dried at 40 C, milled to powder) · Cadmium (Cd) · Sample count unreported.
Selected finding and reference
Sample count unreported. Basis: dry weight (paper states mg kg-1 dry weight).
Non-detects not described for this analyte in rice; no values imputed by extractor.
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
2014
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
all rice brands
All samples in the study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
Dry ashing at 500 C, HNO3/H2O2 dissolution, ICP-OES (PerkinElmer 7300 DV).
Non-detects not described for this analyte in rice; no values imputed by extractor.
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.
