The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has warned parents not to use rice milk to feed infants and young children as it contains low levels of inorganic arsenic.
The authority reiterated advice on Thursday that babies and children up to 4.5 years old should not consume rice milk as substitutes for cows’ milk, breast milk or infant formula.
The FSAI previously issued warnings on the dangers of the products after research findings indicated that there are low levels of inorganic arsenic found in rice milk.
