SFA recalls Bellamy's Organic pasta for infants due to ‘excessive levels’ of arsenic

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) on Tuesday (Nov 3) directed the importer of popular baby food brand Bellamy's Organic to recall its Organic Brown Rice Pasta Stars. This was after “excessive levels” of arsenic were found in the product.

The product is targeted at infants from the age of seven months.

SFA said that it has detected arsenic in samples of the product, at levels exceeding the maximum limit for arsenic in baby food as stated in the Singapore Food Regulations.

especially brown or unpolished rice. 
That's why i sometimes wonder those nutrition experts talking about eating brown rice regularly know what they are talking about. Lol.

I add those taiwanese multigrain rice to my jasmine rice at home. Maybe a 1:4 ratio or so. 
It has some brown rice inside but small porportion.

IMHO.   
White or brown, best is to find a balance.
Best is not to eat too much rice.

yeah lor. He's a keto guy.
His opinion is what the angmohs on youtube advocating vegan/keto/paleo whatever would say, avoid rice, got better alternatives. He's just parroting the common information on keto communities. 
He's not wrong.

But in Asia, just eat lor. You want to eat how much up to you.

Did SFA elaborate when they detected it (wasn't mentioned in the article)?

I take fist size mixed rice (think 3 colors) too. The purple grains tend to be harder so some people may not like.

Yes definitely. I'm not a fan of unpolished rice too.

Also these grains need to soak longer. If you have those fuzzy logic rice cookers, they will cook slower also.
Even jasmine rice after cleaning, should be soaked for 20mins before starting rice cooker. 

Of course if no time, then ignore.

Haha, you're right about the cookers but I just ignore.

However, I have a habit of eating slowly (people finish 3 bowls of rice, I can only manage 1) so just nice for me.

rice has always been associated with arsenic, from what i read.

it's advisable to wash your rice at least 3 times, just to get rid of any possible hazardous material.
