The FSA comment was:
The Food Standards Agency urged parents not to give children aged between one and four and a half rice drinks but offered no advice as to whether they should keep eating rice cakes and other foods.
“We recommend that consumers eat a balanced, varied and healthy diet. Rice and rice products can be part of that, including for young children. However, we do advise that toddlers and young children – ages one to four-and-a-half years – should not be given rice drinks as a substitute for breast milk, infant formula or cows’ milk. This is because of their proportionally higher milk consumption and lower bodyweight compared to other consumers,” said a spokeswoman.
