Does it contain arsenic?

It doesn’t list that in the ingredients

What is the country of origin for this rice?

My container doesn't say. It is USDA approved organic but I don't know if that means grown here. I have been buying it for years after I saw a story about how it is a hybrid developed to compete with India's basmati rice and grown here. So my answer is I am not sure. here is a telephone number for the company 800-232-RICE. It seems like a pretty complicated story involving India suing the producers in the USA. Texmati is labeled a hybrid so...

Is there arsenic in your rice?

Not that I could taste. I didn't have it tested in a lab though.

Why does this product description STILL say Gluten free, despite multiple people pointing out the error? (That’s a false, dangerous claim to make.)

While "gluten free" is not an issue for me, I don't see anything on the label that indicates gluten free. In fact the ingredients list specifically shows wheat.
