Kozhikode: Adulteration in food itmes supplied across the state of Kerala has now become a practice and the latest in the list is rice mixed with polymers. According to food safety officials, they are concerned over the growing issue of adulterated rice entering the markets of Kerala. However, the state is not equipped to contain this.

The fake rice supply has been found in the markets across Kozhikode. Reportedly, fake rice is made from a mixture of potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic. A white layer is formed on the starch water when rice is put in boiled water. If the cooked rice is strained, the thin layer becomes thick like plastic. If this is kept under the sun, the thin layer becomes a burning plastic.

When thoroughly checked, officials have found that adulterants are added to the normal rice and sold in the market. Various complaints from Singapore and Vietnam about adulterated Chinese rice have been reported.

It is said that few Chinese companies produce fake rice by mixing it in plastic. This fake rice is then massively sold in Indian markets.
