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.
