A third of baby food rice on sale in the UK tested by scientists has been found to contain so much inorganic arsenic, a human carcinogen, that it would be illegal in some countries. A child eating three servings a day of the rice with the highest levels would have up to six times the maximum safe level of inorganic arsenic under EU water regulations, according to the researchers from Aberdeen University. The study also found high levels of inorganic arsenic in other rice foods fed to babies, including puffed rice cereals, pasta, noodles, and puddings.
