"See how China is making plastic rice" (Translated from Bengali text - দেখুন চীন কিভাবে পেলাস্টিক চাল তৈরি করছে।

Fact

The same video has been used to create a scare about 'plastic rice', over the last few years.Despite multiple claims, India's Food Safety and Standards Authority has found no conclusive proof of plastic rice in India. BOOM has written about the plastic rice hoax extensively in the past. Read more about it below.
