Rice finding 857
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice grain (Oryza sativa), form unspecified · Cadmium (Cd) · 50 rice samples (1 kg subsample from a 2.5 kg composite).
Selected finding and reference
50 rice samples (1 kg subsample from a 2.5 kg composite). Basis: wet weight (as purchased).
No rice values below LOD reported; source does not describe non-detect handling for rice
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
2017–2018
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
Rice
Purchase or reporting market; growing origin not identified.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
microwave digestion HNO3/H2O2 (3:1) of oven-dried powder; graphite furnace AAS (Thermo CE 3300), Pb 217 nm, Cd 228.8 nm.
No rice values below LOD reported; source does not describe non-detect handling for rice
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.
