Rice finding 893
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice (form not stated; food group 6.1 whole, broken or flaked grain) · Cadmium (Cd) · 42 individual rice samples (Italy dataset IT 22).
Selected finding and reference
42 individual rice samples (Italy dataset IT 22). Basis: unspecified.
Minimum is a non-detect below 0.002 mg/kg (2 ug/kg); not imputed
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
1997–2002
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.

Purchase or reporting market; growing origin not identified.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
not stated per dataset; Member State submissions.
Minimum is a non-detect below 0.002 mg/kg (2 ug/kg); not imputed
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.
