Typical for rice

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.
FDA samples behind these numbers
  • Lead in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 0 of 27, all below 4 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Cadmium in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 27 of 27, average 6.54, highest 23 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Mercury in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 1 of 27, average 0.05, highest 1.4 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 27 of 27, average 44.8, highest 75 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Inorganic arsenic in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 1 of 1, average 41.6, highest 41.6 ppb (2019)
  • Perchlorate in Rice, white, enriched, cooked: found in 3 of 20, 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.
