We as consumers must now be more alert than ever. Smuggling and lack of control from proper authorities makes us extremely vulnerable. Beware!
The above is the opinion of Bolivian Thoughts.
El Diario reports:
They removed the product from “Vicuña” market
They denounced marketing of “plastic rice” in Potosí
According to a note published in the digital newspaper “El Potosí”, citizens Sandra Mendoza and Carlos Nava reported that in the Vicuñas de Potosí market, they sold rice mixed with the so-called “plastic rice”.
The woman explained that they found that the product had a different smell than the known rice and asked her husband to verify if it was not “plastic rice” and with surprise they saw that the product put in a pan melted and was converted into a portion hard and black as if it were coal.
