Reports
from Spy News
Agency indicates that most of all producers of long grain
rice in China are resorting to the production of rice granules from the illegal
use plastic thus mixing the said plastic rice with natural rice for commercial
exportation to African countries including Ghana.
The
plastic rice, which is feared to be a major causative factor in gastritis and
other stomach related disease are been produced through the use of
biotechnological systems is feared to be, if not immediately impounded,
consumed largely by Africa which 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.
