In 2012 the FDA was busy doing the science and projecting their risk assessment for arsenic in rice should be published in 2014. Any limits and associated testing would come after that.
I don't see the assessment published or an update. Maybe they are still working, maybe it was canceled.

- zymhan 11y agoYou know big rice, always throwing their weight around at the FDA.
- InclinedPlane 11y agoYou think that rice isn't produced by multi-billion dollar corporations that have spent decades honing their lobbying techniques? Like ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis-Dreyfus Group, look them up. These are the same guys who are able to maintain agricultural subsidies larger than NASA's budget as well as regulations mandating ethanol in gasoline which works out to be just another kind of subsidy.
- zymhan 11y agoI suppose that's reasonable.
