There are multiple videos going viral on social media with people complaining about ‘plastic’ cabbage, egg, muffins, etc since a very long time. But then in the last few days in Hyderabad, there have been complaints from the Charminar area, Yousufguda, Saroornagar and Meerpet that multiple outlets are selling what is being dubbed as plastic rice; which has the potential to cause fatal health problems.
Acting on these complaints, the food and civil supplies department has sent in its task force which has collected samples of cooked rice and detained stocks at grocery stores, sending them for qualitative analysis to a laboratory. People had been complaining of uneasiness that the doctor could not cure for the last couple of weeks. They suffered loose motions, and other gastric problems.
Videos are circulated that show polythene being inserted into machines from where noodle-like plastic sticks emerge, which then get cut into fine rice. The videos have gone viral on social media claiming that it is plastic rice coming from China that has infiltrated the market. This has created panic among the people and rumors on social media have added to the fears. But none of this has been firmly established. The qualitative test reports from labs are awaited. While producers and suppliers are trying to cheat customers by selling fake products we ought to know the way to differentiate things.
