First
there were artificial eggs from China and now plastic rice
Devastating news strike the world this morning revealing the
truth about fake rice that is spreading through Asian continent. Major world
media confirmed this news as they first started spreading as rumors among the
users of Facebook and Whats App. A few days ago, these media revealed the story
about artificial eggs from China ad now plastic rice takes the turn. We advise
you to be very careful about what you buy and specially read the label on the
products.
According to Asian local media, this type of rice first
appeared in the India’s southern state Kerala. It is said that it originates
from China but it has found its way into the Asian countries including India,
Indonesia and Vietnam.
The worst thing about this rice is that it comes mixed with
normal rice and may be found in some famous brands. This is making it very hard
to detect it and avoid it. People who consumed this kind of rice say that they
have experienced stomach issues as a result.
According to experts, this rice is made from mixing
potatoes, sweet potatoes and synthetic resign and it may damage the digestive
system, import toxins in the body and even poison you. According to the media
it has been on the market for a long time, first appearing in Taiyuan and
Shaanxi. It is similar to normal rice and many people don’t even check it prior
buying.
The Malaysian Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry
firmly deny these rumors and say that their rice is perfectly safe for
consumption. However, they add that although their production line is safe
still there is a possibility that this fake rice got into their country by
import and it is likely to be sold in small shops and not in large
supermarkets.
Can we
avoid this fake rice?
Although it is very difficult to recognize this rice in the
shops, you may check its quality in your home. When cooked this rice remains
hard and meals with it have specific taste different from the ordinary. Also
when exposed to high heat it burns like plastic.
