Avoiding Arsenic in Rice: How mm food Keeps Your Restaurant Meals Safe

The Hidden Ingredient You Didn't Order

Rice dishes—from sushi to risotto—are restaurant staples worldwide, yet many contain traces of arsenic, a toxic metal absorbed from soil and water. Chronic exposure increases risks for cancer, heart disease, and developmental issues. For gluten-free or plant-based diners who rely heavily on rice, the stakes are even higher.

Why Restaurants Pose a Challenge

Menus rarely list rice sources or arsenic levels. Brown rice often contains more arsenic than white, and rice-based staples like bowls, paella, or fried rice may use imported varieties from high-arsenic regions. Without ingredient transparency, diners unknowingly consume risk with every bite.
