Toxic Metals Found in 100+ Store-Bought Rice Brands, Report Warns

A new report reveals that rice sold by over 100 brands in the U.S. contains dangerously high levels of arsenic and cadmium. The study, conducted by Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, found that one in four samples exceeded FDA limits for inorganic arsenic in infant cereals. The report emphasizes risks to young children, particularly in Latino and Asian communities where rice is a dietary staple. Experts recommend switching to low-metal grains like farro or California-grown rice, and using cooking methods like boiling and draining to reduce exposure.
