Rice milk arsenic contamination prompts food watchdog warning for children to stop drinking it

At risk: Children who drink rice milk face a higher chance of cancer

Toddlers and young children should not be given rice milk because it exposes them to arsenic, parents have been told.

The Food Standards Agency issued the warning after an official study of 60 rice milk products showed all contained traces of the poison.

Such contamination is a known problem associated with past pesticide use on the fields in which the rice crop is grown.

Levels found in the study were below the current legal limit, and deemed safe for adults. But children and toddlers are at greater risk because they drink more milk relative to their size.

Arsenic is known as a poison but is also associated with the development of certain cancers. The current legal limit is being reviewed by the European Food Safety Authority.

The FSA said: 'As a precaution, toddlers and young children between one and 4.5 years old should not have rice drinks as a replacement for cows' milk, breast milk, or infant formula.'

But it stressed: 'There is no immediate risk to children who have been consuming rice drinks and it is unlikely there would have been any long-term harmful effects, but to reduce further exposure to arsenic parents should stop giving these drinks to toddlers and young children.'

In 2007 Aberdeen University researchers flagged up problems of arsenic contamination in both rice and rice milk.

They found that one in five samples of American long-grain rice in British shops contained potentially harmful levels of arsenic.

Research leader Professor Meharg said the FSA now needs to look at arsenic contamination of other types of rice, particularly baby rice.

By the way, earlier reports seemed to say that basmati rice was safer than some

other types. I wonder what European rice eg Italian Arborio is like?

Here is a link to a discussion group which discusses alternatives if that's any help?http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=863740To: From: paralilepipedo@...Date: Tue, 26 May 2009 14:36:58 -0500Subject: RE: FW: Rice Milk

I made rice milk yesterday.  My boys say it tastes like rice pudding!  It was easy and I am sure much cheaper than store bought (and healthier).  This is how I did it.

1/2 C long grain brown rice1/2 tsp salt

4 C waterBring water to a boil (I added the rice after the water came to a boil but the video mixes them together then brings the water to a boil - I'll do that next time)

Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 3 hours I only cooked mine for about 2 hours.  The lady in the video doesn't have a Vitamix.  I watched another video showing how to make rice milk in a Vitamix with raw/soaked rice so I figured if you can make milk out of raw rice then I shouldn't have to cook mine for the full 3 hours - that's my logic anyway (LOL!). I may try reducing the cooking time even more the next time I make it.

Blend using equal parts rice mush and fresh water and add 2 tbl sweetener of choice.Pour through fine strainer or nut milk bag.  I didn't have much pulp left over. In the videos it looked like there was more; maybe that is the difference between a regular blender and a Vitamix.

This made about 1/2 gallon.It is very creamy and you could add more water if you wanted to stretch it out a bit more or like it less thick.I may try adding some carob powder to future attempts to see how that works.

RenaIf God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.
