Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in soil and water. Low levels of arsenic can be found in all grains, not just rice, worldwide. U.S. rice meets FDA and international regulations for arsenic and is safe to consume. There are no scientific studies that support claims that there is a public health safety issue as a result of trace amounts of arsenic in rice. For more information, visit: http://arsenicfacts.com/.

Minute^® Instant White Rice is a long grain white rice which is precooked using a patented process which ensures consistent quality and convenience in preparation. Minute^® Premium Rice is also a long grain white rice which is precooked but uses a different raw material, parboiled rice, which has a golden color and uses a similar cooking process as Minute® Instant White Rice. In addition to the color difference, Minute®Premium Rice grains are more separate and tend to be slightly firmer in texture. Preparation and 5 minute cook time are the same for Minute® Instant White and Premium Rice.

We do NOT recommend you put rice, raw or cooked into your garbage disposal. Rice expands when you add water and cook it in a pan and it does the same inside your pipes or garbage disposal.
