Detailed Explanation of Rice Inspection Methods and Standards - Inspection Services for Warehousing and Factory Audits

Rice, as the main staple food for the general public, its quality and safety directly affect the health of consumers. The frequent occurrence of "poisonous rice" incidents in recent years has made the quality inspection, testing and certification of rice particularly important. This article will systematically introduce the inspection standards, testing methods and quality certification requirements of rice, providing professional guidance for relevant practitioners. 
I. Inspection Methods and Quality Certification for Rice
(1) Appearance Inspection Certification
Color inspection standards 
High-quality rice: Pure white or light bluish color, with a luster, and is semi-transparent and of a waxy texture. 
Defective characteristics: dull color, lack of luster, poor transparency 
Morphological and structural verification 
The particles are neatly and evenly distributed, with a smooth surface. 
The structure is tight and complete, with moderate hardness. 
The broken rice rate meets the requirements of national standards. 
Impurity and Defect Inspection 
No yellowish grains, moldy grains or diseased grains shall be detected. 
The impurity content meets the requirements of the GB 1354 standard. 
No visible foreign objects or insect damage. 
(2) Odor Identification and Certification
Standard Testing Method 
Closed-ventilation preservation method: Place the sample in a sealed container, keep it at 60-70℃ for several minutes, then open the container for olfactory identification. 
Breathing method: Place the palm over the sample, exhale warm air and immediately perform the olfactory test. 
Warming method: Immediately smell the odor after the sample is warmed. 
Odor Quality Certification 
Qualified rice: Has a fresh rice aroma and no unpleasant odors. 
Rancid rice: No rice aroma or the aroma is very weak. 
Rotten rice: musty smell, sour smell, rotten smell 
Impure rice: Odor of mineral oil or other unpleasant smells 
II. Rice Inspection and Certification Standard System
(1) Sampling Inspection Plan Sampling requirements

Sampling location: Randomly select samples from different parts of the incoming goods. 
Sampling ratio: No less than 5% of the total packaging units 
Sample quantity: Each batch should be no less than 1kg 
Sampling certification process 
Use a dedicated sampling tool 
Ensure the representativeness of the samples 
Detailed recording of sampling information 
(2) Sensory indicator certification
Color certification 
Conforming to the color and hue characteristics of the variety 
High transparency, with a natural luster 
No abnormal coloring or spots 
Morphological Authentication 
The grains are intact and conform to the characteristics of the variety. 
Uniform in size, without any severely broken grains of rice 
Odor Authentication 
Having the unique aroma of fresh rice 
No odor, no musty smell, no rancid smell 
Taste Certification 
The raw rice has no unpleasant smell when tasted. 
Has a fresh and delicious flavor after being cooked 
(3) Physical and Chemical Index Testing and Certification
Safety Index Inspection 
Aflatoxin B1: ≤ 10 μg/kg (GB 2761) 
Heavy metal content: Lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic comply with GB 2762 
Pesticide residues: Compliant with GB 2763 regulations 
Quality indicator certification 
Moisture content: ≤ 15.5% 
Broken rice rate: Meets the requirements of the corresponding grade. 
Total impurity content: ≤ 0.25% 
III. Requirements for Inspection of Packaging and Storage Transportation
(1) Packaging Inspection Certification
Inspection of Packaging Materials 
Use food-grade fiber bags or plastic bags 
The packaging is intact and undamaged. 
Quantitative and accurate, such as 25kg per package 
Identification and Certification Requirements 
The production date is clearly legible. 
The expiration date is clearly indicated. 
Manufacturer information is complete. 
The contact number is genuine and valid. 
(2) Storage and Transportation Condition Certification
Inspection during transportation process 
Prevent rain and sun exposure 
Avoid cross-contamination 
Cleanliness and hygiene of transportation vehicles 
Warehouse Condition Certification 
A normal temperature, well-ventilated and dry environment 
Effective measures for preventing moisture and mold 
Improve pest and rodent prevention facilities 
The shelf life is no less than 6 months. 
IV. Rice Quality Safety Certification System
(1) Mandatory Certification Requirements
Production License Certification 
Food Production License (SC Certification) 
Quality Management System Certification 
Product inspection and certification 
Each batch's factory inspection report 
Third-party authoritative inspection report 
Periodic type inspection report 
(2) Key Points of Risk Monitoring
Monitoring of Aflatoxins 
The raw materials are strictly inspected and controlled. 
Production process control 
Batch-by-batch inspection of the finished products 
Control of Heavy Metal Pollution 
Monitoring of the production environment 
Raw material heavy metal screening 
Verification of product compliance 
Identification of adulteration and contamination 
Detection of mineral oil adulteration 
Chen Mi renovation identification 
Variety authenticity verification 
V. Inspection and Certification Process
(1) Document Review and Certification
Verify the production license 
Review and verify the quality inspection report 
Check the purchase vouchers 
(2) On-site inspection and certification Appearance inspection

Observation under natural light 
Using standard samples for comparison 
Record the test results 
Odor identification 
Operated by trained inspectors 
Using the standard method for detection 
The results are objectively recorded. 
(III) Laboratory Testing Certification
Rapid Screening 
Rapid Detection of Aflatoxins 
Rapid screening for heavy metals 
Quick determination of moisture content 
Precise analysis 
Detection of mycotoxins by chromatography 
Detection of heavy metals by atomic absorption method 
Precise determination of physical and chemical indicators 
By establishing a complete and sound rice inspection and certification system and strictly implementing quality control throughout the entire process from raw materials to finished products, it is possible to effectively identify substandard products such as "poisonous rice", ensuring the safety and quality of rice, and providing consumers with reliable and high-quality rice products.
