Typical for rice
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).One serving (1/3 cup, 56 g, from the label):2% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of an adult's daily limit
- 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).One serving (1/3 cup, 56 g, from the label):▲ 2.6× a toddler's daily limit● 55% of an adult's daily limit
- 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.
