Rice finding 871
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: unspecified (table says wet weight; text says dry weight).
no non-detects reported
HMI baseline position
Limited data: Held: Table 3 header states 'ww basis' but the text (Section 3) says the maximum rice value 0.0925 mg/kg was 'on dry weight basis'; basis is unresolved. Unit glyph lost in conversion ('g/kg'); values interpreted as µg/kg from text (0.0925 mg/kg = 92.5). n not stated. Missing evidence never means low contamination.
Held: Table 3 header states 'ww basis' but the text (Section 3) says the maximum rice value 0.0925 mg/kg was 'on dry weight basis'; basis is unresolved. Unit glyph lost in conversion ('g/kg'); values interpreted as µg/kg from text (0.0925 mg/kg = 92.5). n not stated.
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 from randomly selected CRF
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
Held: Table 3 header states 'ww basis' but the text (Section 3) says the maximum rice value 0.0925 mg/kg was 'on dry weight basis'; basis is unresolved. Unit glyph lost in conversion ('g/kg'); values interpreted as µg/kg from text (0.0925 mg/kg = 92.5). n not stated.
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.
