Tag: Cadmium in rice

According to a 2025 study by Healthy Babies Bright Futures, all samples of store-bought rice tested were found to contain toxic heavy metals, most notably arsenic and cadmium. The presence of these contaminants in rice is a significant public health concern due to rice's role as a dietary staple for billions of people worldwide.

According to a 2025 report from Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, heavy metals were found in 100% of the rice samples they tested nationwide. This raises serious questions about whether rice has heavy metals, which ones, and what consumers can do to reduce their exposure.
