You may be surprised to learn that there is arsenic in rice.
In fact, rice is not the only food or beverage that contains arsenic. It’s also found in vegetables, fruits, and many other foods. The FDA has been monitoring the presence of arsenic in food as part of its ongoing oversight of the safety of the food supply. And now we’ve looked at arsenic in infant rice cereal.
Let’s start at the beginning.
The FDA agency proposed to reduce the amount of inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereals to 100 parts per billion Friday and said about 47 percent of infant cereals samples met the standard.
