"Plastic rice" is a long-standing rumor. Recently, the rumor of "plastic rice" has reappeared, and some past rumor articles, pictures and videos have been spread on the Internet. In this regard, many netizens and media have pointed out that this kind of "plastic rice" is not only easy to see through, but also costs more than normal rice. It is not necessary for merchants to replace fake rice with plastic.
According to a survey conducted by the reporters of Jiefang Daily Shangguan, last year 10, the World Wide Web reported a news: At that time, a similar false video was circulated in some American media and social networks, and the video also stated 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 very difficult to eat it." The survey of this American rumor website 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 are spread, there has been no confirmed case that consumers can't distinguish real rice from plastic rice.
In addition, CCTV has also 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. Initially, it was reported that the rice was "plastic rice from China", which was sold to local people as rice. However, some media quickly questioned: if it is plastic rice, its unit price is twice that of real rice. These rice may be plastic raw materials that show people as rice in order to circumvent Nigeria's import restrictions.
