Consumers should be aware of plastic rice from China that is difficult to discern from "real rice."WARNING DONT BUY FAKE LPS FROM CHINA
Reports hold that plastic rice made in China has flooded
Western markets, but you'd probably notice if your dinner tasted like the bag
in which you carried it home.
China has been routinely caught producing fake plastic rice
for years now. Sometimes the rice is also made from potatoes to mimic rice.
These fake rice grains look exactly like rice but remain hard after cooking.
They’ve been trying to sneak in their fake rice to cut costs for years now and
most American consumers are none the wiser.
An undercover journalist with the Blue Ocean Network, a
popular English channel in China, exposed Wuchang rice in China for being
mostly fake.
In each bag, a small amount of real rice is mixed in with
the fake rice, sprayed with a fragrance to mimic the smell of rice, then
packaged and shipped all over China. He uncovered that, of the 10 million tons
of rice Wuchang produced every year, about 9 million isn’t even actual rice.
Even more disgusting, eating three bowls of this rice was
found to be equal to consuming an entire plastic bag, which is dangerous for
your health and terrible for your digestive system. It could potential be fatal
