Rice finding 618
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice grain (Oryza sativa), edible part, form not stated · Cadmium (Cd) · Sample count unreported.
Selected finding and reference
Sample count unreported. Basis: dry weight (oven-dried 70–80 °C).
Reported "Nd"; the only limit given (0.001 ppm) is an instrument limit in digest solution, not a food-mass limit
HMI baseline position
Limited data: The source reports a non-detect without a numerical limit; its position cannot be identified. Missing evidence never means low contamination.
The source reports a non-detect without a numerical limit; its position cannot be identified.
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
Ohaji
All samples in the study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
Perchloric/nitric acid digestion of ash; flame AAS (Unicam 929).
Reported "Nd"; the only limit given (0.001 ppm) is an instrument limit in digest solution, not a food-mass limit
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.
