Oh well that's comforting, the manufacturer is quoted as saying "its not that big a deal" and "we will follow the fda guidelines on how much arsenic is allowed"

Great time to be defering to regulators as they all cease to exist

The organization also found some types of rice had higher levels of heavy metals and elements than others. White rice grown in California, jasmine rice from Thailand and basmati rice from India had lower levels than brown rice, white rice grown in the Southeast U.S. and arborio rice (risotto) from Italy.

Jasmine and Basmati grabs the W once again

It sucks arborio was found with high levels, risotto slaps
