Q. Thanks so much for the update on arsenic in rice. But why are sushi and quick-cooking rice not included in the category "all types of rice"? And does rice that can be microwaved in 90 seconds qualify as quick cooking?—Edward Roberts, Rosanky, TX
A. Sushi and quick-cooking rice were not included because they tend to be lower in arsenic than other types of rice from Arkansas, Louisiana, or Texas. We didn't have enough samples of 90-second rice to say anything definitive about it and therefore didn't include it in our analysis.
