The Food and Drug Administration's Closer to Zero Action Plan aims to reduce toxic element exposure from foods infants and toddlers eat. Rice has been identified as a source of inorganic arsenic in the diets of infants and toddlers.
Evaluate consumption of rice and rice-containing foods from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2016.
FITS was a national cross-sectional survey conducted in 2016. Dietary intakes were collected by trained nutritionists using multiple-pass 24-hour recalls by telephone with parents and caregivers of infants and toddlers.
Participants from FITS 2016 (n = 2635) are from a national sample weighted to be representative of US infants and toddlers 0-24 months of age.
Rice grain consumption among infants and toddlers and distribution of rice grain consumed was determined using 1-day intakes. Per capita mean grams rice/day from infant cereal was determined for infants aged 0-12 months.
Sources of rice were identified from 24-hour dietary recalls. A percentage of rice grain was assigned to each food source, and descriptive statistics were used to estimate intakes and distributions.
Percentage consuming rice or rice-containing foods was highest for infants aged 6-11.9 months (58.2%), including snacks (32.1%), infant cereal (27.9%), baby food purees (11.1%), and cooked rice (7.7%). Among infants 6-11.9 months of age who consumed rice, mean intake of rice from all sources was 11.9 ± 0.8 g/d (mean ± standard error [SE]), and although most frequently reported, snacks provided the least quantity of rice (2.0 ± 0.2 g/d). For infants 0-11.9 months of age, mean per capita rice intake from infant cereal was 3.3 ± g/day.
Older infants consume rice from a variety of foods. Rice-containing snacks contribute minimal quantities of rice to the daily diet. To reduce exposure to inorganic arsenic, infants should be offered a variety of grains as part of a well-balanced diet.
美国食品药品监督管理局的“更接近零”行动计划旨在减少婴幼儿所食用食物中的有毒元素暴露。大米已被确定为婴幼儿饮食中无机砷的一个来源。
评估2016年婴幼儿喂养研究（FITS）中大米及含大米食品的消费量。
FITS是2016年开展的一项全国性横断面调查。训练有素的营养学家通过电话对婴幼儿的父母和照料者进行多次24小时膳食回顾来收集膳食摄入量。
2016年FITS的参与者（n = 2635）来自一个经加权的全国样本，旨在代表美国0至24个月大的婴幼儿。
使用1天的摄入量确定婴幼儿大米谷物的消费量以及所消费大米谷物的分布情况。确定0至12个月大婴儿从婴儿谷物中摄入大米的人均每日平均克数。
从24小时膳食回顾中确定大米的来源。将一定比例的大米谷物分配给每种食物来源，并使用描述性统计来估计摄入量和分布情况。
6至11.9个月大的婴儿食用大米或含大米食品的比例最高（58.2%），包括零食（32.1%）、婴儿谷物（27.9%）、婴儿食品泥（11.1%）和米饭（7.7%）。在6至11.9个月大食用大米的婴儿中，所有来源大米的平均摄入量为11.9±0.8克/天（平均值±标准误[SE]），零食虽然是最常被报告的，但提供的大米量最少（2.0±0.2克/天）。对于0至11.9个月大的婴儿，从婴儿谷物中摄入大米的人均平均摄入量为3.3±克/天。
年龄稍大的婴儿从多种食物中摄入大米。含大米的零食在日常饮食中提供的大米量极少。为减少无机砷暴露，应给婴儿提供多种谷物作为均衡饮食一部分。
