Mighty Rice® has undergone arsenic testing in a leading independent US laboratory, Brooks Rand Lab, in Seattle as well as at Dartmouth. Results show that Mighty Rice® has levels of arsenic below the detectable limit for both its white and brown rice.
Rice grown in the US, Thailand and India have been tested to have arsenic levels in excess of 150 ppb, 100 ppb and 60 ppb respectively.
