So is it a Rice recall ,should we be concerned.

Strange article it is like it is saying be concerned but not really. Maybe I'm comprehending it wrong . I just stocked up on Rice maybe why it was on sale.

LOL, I just stocked up as well. I was relieved to find the Basmati rice from India as well as domestic rice from CA was lower. I think it is more MSN panic porn all in all. Thanks for the heads up.

Not affected, as I only rarely eat rice. Being grain-free is good!

There was an influx of Assyrians into the central valley of CA about 30 years ago and kabob places started appearing on every corner--with a lot of basmati rice being used. I really became a fan and we've been using it exclusively for some time now. Light, aromatic, not sticky. Just like we like it.

I like rice but I try not to eat it unless I'm at a Sushi place...
I grew up with it as an almost every night thing since my step grandfather was part Japanese... he cooked it all the time....

I heard it has to do with rice being grown in areas adjacent to old cotton fields.

Rice grown in former cotton fields often contains higher levels of arsenic. These fields were previously treated with arsenic pesticides for cotton crops in the southeastern US. Arsenic-tolerant strains of rice are sometimes grown in these areas.

I thought it would be California rice grown in the Sacramento area.

Every meal every day. Worth spending a little more for the good stuff.

I love basmati! I used to frequently eat in Middle Eastern places, and the Lebanon Restaurant in Seattle made the most incredible Shish Tawook! The rice was irresistible.

Having a Japanese husband and in-laws, I learned to love sushi, especially inari sushi (gunny sacks)! My mother-in-law's sushi rice was great!

Family dinners, ma-in-law made the rice and the granddaughters made gigantic platters of inari.

LOL, I was born in Tokyo and have spent a couple years in the country. I have never been able to get comfortable with sushi or much other Japanese food. I do like Japanese fried rice and curried chicken--I still make the recipe for curried chicken that I learned there--but that is about the extent of it.

I'm not huge on raw fish but I do love wasabi and ginger on a vegetable California roll... and teriyaki chicken...

Some of the sashimi (raw fish) just wouldn't go into my mouth, like sea urchin. Just not gonna happen. I loved tako (octopus) with white flesh and fresh fish flavor.

Miso soup... I make this often... my grandson loves it...

I tried both the octopus and squid that was bbq'd in the parks. Didn't mind the squid, but wasn't much for the octopus. Stands to reason as I love calamari and abalone.

rice can be stored for decades
it is a cheap emergency food supply
dried beans can also be stored for decades
