Potential Exposure to Arsenic from Infant Rice Cereal

Background: Rice is known to be high in arsenic, including in infant rice cereal. Although arsenic in drinking water is currently regulated, there are currently no US regulations regarding arsenic concentrations in food. Objective: We used published values to estimate arsenic exposure via rice cerea...
