Rice recalls for precautionary purposes. Cadmium is dangerous for your health if taken in large quantities. Possible glass fragments in pasta salad dressing

The presence of cadmium levels above the permitted limits was detected in the packages. The product sold in 1 kg packs with an expiry date of 11/02/2025, corresponding to the batch number (product barcode: 20505318). The recalled Carnaroli rice was produced for Lidl by the Curti srl company in the factory in Viale Stazione 113 downstream Lomellina, in the province of Pavia. In the notice published by the Ministry of Health we read that consumers are invited not to consume the Carnaroli rice brand Carosio and to bring it back to the point of sale.
Because cadmium is toxic
Cadmium is a heavy metal classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a group 1 carcinogen, i.e. among certain human carcinogens. It means that exposure to excessive doses of this metal is associated with a greater possibility of developing cancer. Cadmium can be present in food and is partly absorbed by the body where it can remain retained by the kidneys and liver for decades.
An excessive concentration of cadmium can be harmful to health and cause diarrhoea, stomach pain and vomiting. Chronic intake can also cause demineralization of the bones (therefore risk of fractures), renal failure, damage to the nervous and reproductive systems. Cadmium, present above all in industrial areas, spreads through the wind and is deposited on the ground or on the surface of the water even in areas very far from the emission site.
