04 May 2020 --- Half of UK rice contains more arsenic than the European Commission (EC) regulations for rice meant for the consumption for infants or young children. This is according to a new study from the University of Sheffield, which the researchers say is the first to measure differences in human health risks from arsenic using a substantial number of rice varieties marketed in the UK. The scientists are now calling for labeling to warn the public about levels of arsenic in rice.
