Popular Post webfact Posted May 12 Popular Post Share Posted May 12 Thailand's Rice Science Centre has urged the government to review its plan to sell rice from a 10-year-old pledging scheme. Researchers want to inspect the old rice to ensure it's safe for consumption. Experts, including Professor Dr. Apichart Vanavichit from Kasetsart University, have raised concerns about the storage conditions of the rice. They highlight the importance of storing rice in cool, dry, and oxygen-free environments to maintain quality. They also warn of potential degradation, loss of nutritional value, and the presence of harmful substances like chemical residues from fumigation. Additionally, the old rice may have been exposed to toxins produced by fungi, which can be hazardous to health. There is also a risk of the rice containing substances like phosphorus-oxyacids and orthophosphate, which cannot be removed by traditional methods. Experts emphasize the dangers of chemical residues, such as aluminium phosphide, which can produce toxic gases when exposed to water. Consumption of such contaminated rice could lead to serious health issues, including nausea, breathing difficulties, and even death. The call for a review underscores the importance of ensuring the safety and quality of the rice before it is made available for sale to the public.

Geoffggi Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I am surprised the government require to be informed of this, surely these tests should be paramount in the minds of the government prior to even considering such a proposal of releasing it for public consumption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
