Arsenic is abound in rice, because it contaminates it from in the soil. My question is if it's still in certified organic rice, since it's a soil contaminant, or if rice grown organic is tested to ensure low or zero levels of arsenic. So?
Your exposure to arsenic in rice is extremely limited, and should not be a concern to ordinary people. If you are in the USA or Canada, you have no need to worry about arsenic in rice. If you are in China or India or in Southeast Asia, that is a different matter.

This should answer your question. http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/cons/3792e.htm
Quick answer: there is naturally occurring arsenic in soil, but it's not as toxic as the "inorganic" or man-made form.
