The following information is from the foodmanufacturing.com on May 20, 2113.
Almost half of the rice in China's Hunan province's Youxian county were found to be contaminated after samples showed excessive levels of cadmium. Government inspectors also discovered that 44.4 percent of rice and rice products tested this year in the southern city of Guangzhou in Guangdong province showed high levels of cadmium. Cadmium is believed to have entered the rice from soil polluted with heavy metals. Air and soil pollution are chronic problems in China, caused by poor regulation of industrial emissions and heavy dependence on coal to generate electricity.
