Brown Rice Syrup in Baby's Only Organic® Formulas Tests Undetectable for Arsenic
LEWIS CENTER, Ohio, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The rice industry and food manufacturers using rice ingredients have been forced to deal with toxins that are a result of past environmental abuses. Nature's One, Inc., is at the forefront of technology with its organic-compliant filtration process which eliminates arsenic to undetectable levels in organic brown rice syrup (OBRS).

Nature's One has partnered with a supplier that grows one of the purest sources of organic brown rice worldwide. "This, coupled with our new filtration system, proves to parents that they don't have to fear all products containing a rice ingredient," says Nature's One CEO, Jay Highman.
While there are no FDA regulations that define permissible levels of arsenic in foods, the EPA has established a maximum safe limit for arsenic in drinking water at 10 parts per billion (ppb). Nature's One test results consistently confirm undetectable levels of arsenic at testing limits of less than 4 ppb. "Our rice syrup has been tested by independent labs that have validated the 'undetectable' arsenic test results," stated Highman.
This achievement makes it unnecessary for parents to be concerned with limiting the intake of OBRS used in Baby's Only Organic formulas. "Parents should feel confident that our formulas are an excellent source of nutrition for their baby. However, since arsenic and other toxins are present in all foods and drinking water, and at various levels, I recommend that children consuming table foods receive a diverse diet of meats, grains, fruits and vegetables," says Nature's One Nutrition Director, Diane Wilson, MPH, RD, LD.
This year, in an unprecedented move for the formula industry, Nature's One publicized its arsenic test results for Baby's Only Organic. This act of transparency, combined with the company's Pure 10 Pledge™ helps restore and build parents' confidence in the pediatric nutrition industry. The Nature's One Pure10 Pledge is backed by extensive testing, an uncompromising attitude toward ingredient standards, and a commitment to producing the most safe and nutritious formulas for the wellbeing of children.
