Description
Summary:•The Cd and Pb content of 110 top Chinese rice cultivars was determined.•Almost all of the flours contained below 200μg/kg of both Cd and Pb.•White flours tended to contain less Cd and Pb than wholemeal flours.•The flour Cd content of indica types was mostly higher than that of japonica ones. The cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) content in both white and wholemeal flour milled from 110 leading rice cultivars was assessed. The white flour Cd content ranged from
