Rice Varieties Found With Arsenic And Pesticides

WDR 5 Cologne 14d14d Impact 5
Stiftung Warentest found arsenic and other impurities in various rice varieties during an investigation. The contamination affected organic and whole grain rice samples. Only four out of 40 tested samples were found to be clean. Tests found arsenic, cadmium, pesticide residues, and mold in rice samples, including organic and whole grain varieties. The contamination occurs naturally through soil and water in cultivation areas. The Warn-Test Foundation advised consumers not to open the rice packages despite the findings. Testing of 40 rice varieties revealed the presence of arsenic, heavy metal cadmium, and pesticides. Only four of the tested varieties received a 'good' rating.
