The presence of metals in food is of particular concern due to their toxicity. These naturally occurring chemicals can occur as residues in food by a range of mechanisms such as their natural presence in the environment or contamination during food processing and storage. Their accumulation in the body can lead to harmful effects over time and their presence in foodstuffs is strictly regulated.
Heavy, toxic metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are often found in food, either as a natural contaminant or a contaminant from production.
Heavy metals such as arsenic transport from soil to the rice crop itself. This can then be directly consumed by human populations, leading to potential health risks. This is an especially big problem with rice production taking place in areas of relatively poor soil condition, which can be sometimes contaminated.
Rice has a large amount of uses within a wide range of foodstuffs and as such effective testing capabilities are needed to protect the consumer from poor quality, and potentially unsafe, foodstuffs.
Reference materials offer key advantages for laboratories, over and above that of quality control materials. With an improved degree of characterisation compared to proficiency tests or quality control materials, reference materials have a plethora of uses, including method calibration.
