Toxic Metals Found in All Rice Samples in Study

  • Healthy Babies, Bright Futures released a report on May 16, 2025, finding toxic metals in all rice samples from 20 U.S. Metro areas.
  • The report tested 145 popular rice brands because the FDA limits arsenic only in infant rice cereal, not in rice eaten by older children or adults.
  • It found arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury present, with arsenic exceeding the FDA infant cereal limit in 25% of samples and inorganic arsenic prevalent.
  • The report advised using 6 to 10 cups of water per cup of rice, draining excess water, and choosing lower-metal rice types like California white, sushi, jasmine, or Basmati rice.
  • The USA Rice Federation acknowledged concerns but disputed public health risks from trace arsenic and pledged ongoing cooperation with the FDA on safety thresholds.
