TL;DR: A Code of Practice (CoP) was proposed by Peru at the 11th meeting of the Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF11, 2017) as discussed by the authors to guide Member States and the cocoa production industry in preventing and reducing Cadmium contamination in cocoa beans during the production and processing phases.

Abstract: 1. At the 11 meeting of the Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF11, 2017), Peru presented a proposal for the development of a Code of Practice (CoP) to guide Member States and the cocoa production industry in preventing and reducing cadmium (Cd) contamination in cocoa beans during the production and processing phases. The Committee agreed to establish an Electronic Working Group (EWG), chaired by Peru , to prepare a discussion paper for consideration on the opportunity to develop such COP and the risk mitigation measures available to support the development of a COP.

Cadmium Bioavailability, Uptake, Toxicity and Detoxification in Soil-Plant System
Muhammad Shahid,Camille Dumat,Sana Khalid,Nabeel Khan Niazi,Nabeel Khan Niazi,Paula M.C. Antunes +5 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to 2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact on the ecosystem.

TL;DR: Judicious use of water, management of soil, antagonistic effects of various inorganic plant-nutrients to As should be considered in rice cultivated areas to mitigate the building up of As in human food chain and with minimum negative impact to the environment.

Distribution and migration of heavy metals in soil and crops affected by acid mine drainage: Public health implications in Guangdong Province, China.
TL;DR: The local soils were heavily polluted with Cd, Cu and As (especially for Cd) and the mean Igeo value was as high as 3.77, indicating unsuitability of the soil for cultivating the food crops and the local agricultural and the land-use policies need to be reevaluated.

Arsenic and heavy metals in paddy soil and polished rice contaminated by mining activities in Korea
TL;DR: In this article, the atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) was used to detect As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in rice grain grown on the contaminated soils evaluated.

Transporters of arsenite in rice and their role in arsenic accumulation in rice grain
Jian Feng Ma,Naoki Yamaji,Namiki Mitani,Xiao-Yan Xu,Yu-Hong Su,Steve P. McGrath,Fang-Jie Zhao +6 more
TL;DR: It is reported that two different types of transporters mediate transport of arsenite, the predominant form of arsenic in paddy soil, from the external medium to the xylem, which explains why rice is efficient in arsenic accumulation.

Arsenic uptake and metabolism in plants.
TL;DR: Hyperaccumulation appears to involve enhanced arsenate uptake, decreased arsenite-thiol complexation and arsenite efflux to the external medium, greatly enhanced xylem translocation of arsenite, and vacuolar sequestration of arsenites in fronds.

TL;DR: In paddy soils, the management-induced, microbially mediated redox processes control the dynamics of soil minerals and soil organic matter, which are strongly related to the microbial accessibility of C and N, but also of Fe as discussed by the authors.
