About a year ago, it was the same story, except instead of lead, it was arsenic. When you buy your crap from China, you are getting exactly what you pay for. This is disturbing, as I cook with rice quite often.
I checked the bag of rice as I was making dinner tonight. It said "distributed by (grocery store), but didn't give a country of origin.
Precisely why I've stopped shopping mostly at Wal Mart it only carries the distributed by label never country of origin. I've told my local managers you should do the same at your store for whatever good it will do.
And it's not new... here's one from about 8 years ago that actually explains the issue (or not) pretty well. Turns out most Americans don't really eat enough rice to worry about it much...
Lead in China, and arsenic in America... rice is a staple in my diet I know the amount of the toxins in these foods varies depending on the soil content, which in turn varies by geographic region. Which types of rice have the lowest levels, and from what regions? I hear basmati and jasmine rice are the safest, but I'd like more info.
