The FDA and Beech-Nut are recalling Beech-Nut Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal.  A routine sampling program finds that the product contains inorganic arsenic at levels above those that are considered safe.  Exposure to even low levels of arsenic can be a health hazard to developing children.  Due to Beech-Nut’s concern about the purity of obtainable rice powder, this company has taken the extraordinary step of ceasing production of rice cereal.  If you have this product, discard it and contact Beech-Nut at 1-866-272-9417 or online at www.beechnut.com/ricecereal.
