China has been producing fake rice for at least four years, and it is still on the market. Singapore media reported that this “rice” is produced with potatoes, sweet potatoes and – believe it or not – poisonous plastic. It is shaped like regular rice grains but remains hard after cooking and can cause serious health issues.
An undercover journalist has found out that in order to make the fake rice, a small amount of real rice is mixed with plastic rice, sprayed with a fragrance to replicate the original rice smell, packaged and shipped to stores. It is estimated that more than 9 million tons of it is fake.

Eating three bowls of this rice is equal to consuming about one plastic bag; it can be dangerous and can cause serious digestive issues, and even be fatal if consumed daily.
