Rice finding 912
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice (JECFA food category 'Rice'; form not specified) · Cadmium (Cd) · 20 rice samples (individual results; industry aggregated).
Selected finding and reference
20 rice samples (individual results; industry aggregated). Basis: unspecified (as submitted; JECFA notes fresh vs dried form not always determinable).
0 of 20 non-detect; maximum is a detected value
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
2004–2008
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
USA (USFDA Total Diet Study)
Purchase or reporting market; growing origin not identified.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
as submitted; validated methods with internal/external QC stated generally.
0 of 20 non-detect; maximum is a detected value
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.
