"Plastic rice" is a long-standing rumor. Recently, the rumor of "plastic rice" has reappeared, and some past rumor articles, pictures and videos have spread on the Internet. In this regard, many netizens and the media have pointed out that this kind of "plastic rice" is not only easy to be seen through, but also more expensive than normal rice. There is no need for merchants to replace fake rice with plastic.
No one can tell the difference between halal rice and plastic rice.
According to a survey conducted by the reporter of Jiefang Daily Shangguan News, in June+10 last year, the World Wide Web reported a news: at that time, a similar false video was circulated in some media and social networks in the United States, and it was also said in the video that "in order to reduce costs, China produced rice with plastic instead of planting it, and exported these plastic rice to western countries."
Immediately, the American rumor website "Rumor Crusher" published an article saying, "American consumers should first understand that if the rice they buy home is made of plastic bags, it is hard to eat." The American rumor website survey found that the rumor of "plastic rice" can be traced back to 20 1 1 year at the earliest, but up to now, in all countries where rumors spread, there has never been a case where consumers can't tell halal rice from plastic rice.
In addition, CCTV has had similar rumors. According to China News Network, in 20 16, Nigerian customs seized 102 bags of 50 kilograms of "plastic rice", which attracted global attention. The course of the incident is also full of twists and turns, and the statement is quite different. It was originally reported that this kind of rice was "plastic rice from China" and was sold to local people as rice. But soon some media questioned: if it is plastic rice, its unit price is twice that of real rice. These rice may be plastic raw materials. In order to avoid the import restrictions in Nigeria, people are shown as rice.
20 16 12.30, after the investigation, Nigerian officials announced the investigation results of the "plastic rice" incident. The results show that this kind of rice is not made of plastic, but cannot be eaten because it is moldy.
That machine still produces plastic. ...
The reporter of Liberation Daily contacted a person in the plastic surgery industry. He watched the video on the Internet and said that this was not a plastic meal at all, but a basic plastic granulation process.
He said that the equipment used in the video is very common in the plastic industry and should be a plastic granulator. He said that the factory put the recycled plastic into a plastic granulator to produce recycled plastic granules. These particles are semi-finished raw materials for making plastic products again. The reason why it is made into granules is to facilitate storage and transportation.
The insider also provided a picture similar to a plastic granulator. This machine is almost identical to the one in the video. It has an entrance for putting waste plastics, and there will also be a "rotation" process after processing. He also told reporters that the average price of such recycled plastic granules is about per kilogram 10 yuan, while ordinary rice does not exceed that of 5 yuan.
Tencent's reality show platform also pointed out that the video of "plastic rice" processing circulated on the Internet, but in fact, the video only shows the processing process of recycling plastic particles, which has nothing to do with rice gossip.
