PUTRAJAYA, May 22 (Bernama) -- Ministry of Health (MOH) refers to the article “Throwing deadly plastic into our rice bowls” by the STAR dated 18 May 2015. MOH is aware of the allegation circulating in the social media that “fake rice” is being produced in China by mixing potatoes/sweet potatoes with plastic resins and this rice has been exported to a number of Asian countries. The information on these media also indicated that such rice can be distinguished as it will remain hard even after cooking and a layer of “plastic like” sheath can be formed as the rice is boiled.
