Abstract
⺠Arsenic content of Ghanaian rice is higher than in other Ghanaian grain staples. ⺠Compared to global mean values, Ghanaian rice and maize have low As and Cd content. ⺠Most rice imports to Ghana have lower Co, Cu, Mn and Zn content than Ghanaian rice. ⺠Cancer risk posed by Thai rice is slightly higher than for Ghanaian and US rice. ⺠A shift to multigrain diets would reduce health risks due to dietary As exposure.
