rice milk - arsenic

[Chundle]

hi all, my dd is 18 months and last year from the age of 1 until 16 months we gave her rice milk due to suspected milk allergy. however just found out about rice milk having low levels of arsenic in it and not suitable for children! she had it everyday for 4 months will she be ok? or will she need to be checked im worried now
thanks

hi please stop worrying read this:

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1186722/Rice-milk-arsenic-contamination-prompts-food-watchdog-warning-children-stop-drinking-it.html

it says there is no immediate risk and unlikly to have any long term effects but go and see your gp or HV if your very worried

thanks betty - we are at the CDC tomorrow so ill ask the nure/paed there
