First there were artificial eggs from China and now plastic rice. A devastating news hit the world this morning, revealing the truth about fake rice that are marketed in Asia. The world's major media confirmed this news as rumors began to spread on Facebook and Whats App. A few days ago, these media revealed the truth about artificial eggs sold in China, and today they unveil the real existence of plastic rice. We advise you to be very careful what you buy and especially to read the label on the products.
According to local Asian media, this type of rice appeared in southern India Kerala. It is said to originate in China but has spread to other Asian countries, including India, Indonesia and Vietnam.
The worst is that this "fake rice" is mixed with normal rice and can be found in some famous brands. This makes it more difficult to detect and avoid them. People who have consumed this type of rice say they have had stomach problems.
According to experts, this rice is made from a mixture of potatoes, sweet potatoes and synthetic resin. It can damage the digestive system, overwhelms the body with toxins and may even poison you. According to media reports, it has been on the market for a long time, appearing first in Taiyuan and Shaanxi. It looks like normal rice and many people do not check what they are buying.
The Malaysian Ministry of Agriculture and Agribusiness strongly denies these rumors and asserts that rice is perfectly consumable. However, they add that even if their production line is secure, it is possible that this false rice has landed in their country through importation and is likely to be sold in small shops and not in supermarkets.
Can we avoid this "false rice"?
Although it is very difficult to recognize this rice in stores, you can check the quality in your home. Once cooked, this rice remains hard and has a different taste than the real rice. Similarly, when exposed to high heat, it burns like plastic.
Is it true?
