Check out Questions & Answers: FDA's Analysis of Arsenic in Rice and Rice Products

Here is the complete FDA article Arsenic in Rice

Only higher levels of arsenic are likely to cause GI problems. The concerns are about low levels - micrograms or millionths of a gram per 100-200 gram serving - in rice products from foreign countries. Arsenic in rice products is not likely a concern for causing GI issues. It might be a concern for long term health issues especially for children. Hopefully, the FDA will set a standard soon and this issue will be set to rest

do you think I should cut down on the amount of rice and rice products I consume in a day? I consume up to 5 or 6 rice containing products a day.
