Beech-Nut to stop selling a specific baby rice cereal because of arsenic levels found in some test samples

The company on Tuesday issued a voluntary recall of one lot of Beech-Nut Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal, according to a statement on its website.
While no illnesses have been reported to date, samples from the cereal tested "above the guidance level for naturally occurring, inorganic arsenic" set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to Beech-Nut.
"The safety of infants and children is Beech-Nut's top priority," Jason Jacobs, Beech-Nut's vice president, food safety and quality, said in a statement. "We are issuing this voluntary recall, because we learned through routine sampling by the State of Alaska that a limited quantity of Beech-Nut Single Grain Rice Cereal products had levels of naturally-occurring inorganic arsenic above the FDA guidance level, even though the rice flour used to produce these products tested below the FDA guidance level for inorganic arsenic."
The FDA also confirmed the Beech-Nut recall on its website, saying the company has decided to stop selling Beech-Nut branded Single Grain Rice Cereal.
"Beech-Nut is concerned about the ability to consistently obtain rice flour well-below the FDA guidance level and Beech-Nut specifications for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic," the FDA said in its recall announcement.
The specific Beech-Nut Single Grain Rice item affected by the recall has an expiration date of 01MAY2022 and product codes103470XXXX and 093470XXXX and was sold nationally both in stores and online, according to the company.
