15. Plastic Rice
There have been many reports and headlines recently of studies finding plastic in the rice that is coming over from China, and it’s starting to alarm people (for good reason). The fake rice is very similar to its natural counterpart and is difficult to spot by the naked eye. Some reports also state that some of the rice has been found to contain high amounts of potato and resin, as well.
It’s estimated that there has already been 9 million tons of fake rice within the last 4 years sent to The United States for consumption, meaning you may have eaten plastic, thinking it was rice. It doesn’t stop there, however.
