Rice
Is it safe to use rice cereal/rice cakes/puffs for babies (arsenic)?
Rice and rice products are identified as a dietary source of inorganic arsenic in the EFSA 2024 opinion recorded in the corpus. This corpus does not contain a verified arsenic concentration for infant rice cereal, rice cakes, or puffs, so it does not state a safe serving. The reference point of 0.06 µg/kg body weight per day is a toxicological benchmark, not a product limit.
What is not available
No infant serving size and no micrograms per serving were verified. Brand names are not ranked.
