Rice labeled "EU" may come from Asia: what the label really means

The label "EU cultivation" on rice packaging does not mean the grains were grown in Europe — it only indicates the rice was processed or packaged here, not grown. Rice accumulates arsenic about ten times more efficiently than other grains, so knowing the true origin of the grain matters for health. Consumers wanting rice actually grown in Europe must look for detailed information about the country of cultivation, not processing.
