ppb = parts per billion. "Below the lab's limit" means the lab could not measure it reliably, not that it is absent.

FDA's averages for this kind of food (this product has its own lab results above)
Compared with FDA's white rice, cooked: what FDA found when it bought and tested it across the US. These are not tests of this product.
- Cadmium: typically 5.2 ppb (FDA, 27 samples, 2017-2020). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 2.3 kg (5.1 lb) a day; an adult at about 11 kg (24 lb).
- Arsenic (total): typically 43 ppb (FDA, 27 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
- Inorganic arsenic: typically 41.6 ppb (FDA, 1 samples, 2019). A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 22 g (0.78 oz) a day; an adult at about 100 g (3.5 oz).
- Lead, Mercury, Perchlorate: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
Total arsenic counts every form of arsenic, including less harmful ones; inorganic arsenic is the more harmful part of it, so its number is part of the total.
FDA samples behind these numbers
- Lead in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 4 ppb (2017-2020)
- Cadmium in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 6.54, highest 23 ppb (2017-2020)
- Mercury in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 1 of 27 samples, average 0.05, highest 1.4 ppb (2017-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 44.8, highest 75 ppb (2017-2020)
- Inorganic arsenic in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 1 of 1 sample, average 41.6, highest 41.6 ppb (2019)
- Perchlorate in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 3 of 20 samples, average 0.55, highest 6 ppb (2008-2012)
"Typically" is FDA's middle sample. Daily amounts use the long-run average and each chemical's daily limit (EPA reference dose, or FDA's level for lead) for a 33-lb toddler and a 154-lb adult. ppb = micrograms per kilogram of food. Source: FDA Total Diet Study.
Not tested
No published results for this product cover: Perchlorate, Phthalates (plastic softeners), Phthalate substitutes, Bisphenols. That means nobody has published a test, not that these are absent.
