Compared with FDA's crisped rice cereal: what FDA found when it bought and tested it across the US. These are not tests of this product.

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 Cereal, crisped rice: found in 1 of 3 samples, average 1.5, highest 4.5 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Cadmium in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 21.7, highest 39 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Mercury in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 2 of 3 samples, average 2.37, highest 4.1 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 170, highest 210 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Inorganic arsenic in Cereal, crisped rice: found in 3 of 3 samples, average 93.1, highest 103 ppb (2018-2020)
  • Perchlorate in Crisped rice cereal: found in 4 of 20 samples, average 0.45, highest 3 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.
