Most if not all producers of long grain rice in China are now resorting to production of the granules from plastic, a new report has revealed.
According to Spy News Agency, the plastic rice is mixed with natural rice for commercial exportation to African countries including Ghana.
The plastic rice is feared to be a major causative factor of gastritis and other stomach related disease as is produced through the use of biotechnological systems, the reports adds.This type of rice was discovered to be largely consumed by Africa which also happens to be the continent with the largest Chinese rice consumption rate.
So far, experts say there is no scientific rice testing method developed yet to detect this artificial rice from the original ones produced at the various points of entry into countries.
Scientists are therefore being called upon all over the world to help avert the cancerous agenda being embarked on by some industry players to cause disease and death on mass scale.
Meanwhile, the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) is to begin checking samples of rice on the market, especially those from China and also to educate importers on the dangers of importing unwholesome food substances into the country.
Below is a leaked video of a rice mill in China largely producing the said plastic rice:
