A farmer has to wait something like 3 years before he can sell organic product from a converted field. Don't know if that's long enough to get rid of all the arsenic so i guess knowing where your rice comes from is key! I'll have to ask Rainbow Market where they get their organic rice next time I'm in the store. Hopefully it's not from the South Central US.
