Australian rice contains microplastics

Quote:
A NEW study from the University of Queensland has revealed that humans are consuming three to four milligrams of microplastic per every 100mg of rice they consume - with more alarming data found from instant rice packages, that contain up to 14mg per serving.

Perhaps it comes from the packaging?

The packaging wouldnt weigh 3 to 4 mg, let alone 140 mg in the instant version. This is obvious food adulteration, they shouldnt be allowing this food to be sold, we need to upgrade our standards.

Consumption of microplastics is well known to cause sterility in humans.

Best bet is not to consume any food manufactured in Australia, they are well known to adulterate food.

Having worked for Sunrice Aust (provides the highest 'quality' of rice in the world too).
Sad to see that 'plastic' contamination is there.
Maybe packaging in 'tin' is the go?
Maybe this is another attack on Australian industries by BOTH American and Chinese markets?

Not as well as countries that export food through NZ or directly into Australia.

Perfect examples are a fish called Basa(Vietnamese catfish) & Carboxymethyl cellulose gel pumped prawns.

You should live in another country you flog.

Australia is so bad that organised Asian gangs raid supermarkets all over the country for all sorts of Australian made products because they are safer & 100 times better/safer compared to what they get in their own countries.
