Read / Add Comments A grain rice cereal is being recalled by Beech-Nut Nutrition due to the presence of inorganic arsenic in the product that could impact infants and children, forcing the company to stop producing it altogether. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the company has issued a voluntary recall of one lot of Beech-Nut Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal after tests of the product showed that it was above the guidance level for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic. According to the FDA, it “has recognized that trace elements such as these are widely present in the environment, including water, soil, and food; and has also stated that exposure to elevated levels of naturally occurring inorganic arsenic can pose a health hazard to young children.”
