Re: BEWARE: Chinese companies are making toxic rice out of plastic

According to the article.....

 

"So far, there have been no reports of plastic rice in the U.S.;"

"Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

According to snopes this is unproven, but they didn't say it was false.

 

I don't trust food products from China. I wouldn't buy it

Well, plastic rice or rice with arsenic?  I would like to think I would know if I'm eating plastic, though you never can tell.  I am concerned about arsenic found in all rice types though.

@wildlifewitch, the FDA cannot control what isn't in the USA.

Per page 2 of the article and Mz iMac's post this rice isn't here in the US.

I have bought 'Texmati' rice, commonly available in the average grocery store, for years. It's American-grown basmati rice. They do white and brown.
