Popular rice products may contain high levels of arsenic
The Institute for Global Food Security tested 81 different rice products including crispy rice and puffed rice cereals, rice cakes and baby cereals. They found that many contained high levels of inorganic arsenic and 58% exceeded the recommended arsenic levels for children. Arsenic is not harmful in small quantities, but exposure to high levels over an extended period can lead to cancer or heart disease.
