Mahama wicked government denied that there no plastic rice just to protect their satanic chinese, who produce these satanic rice.

People involve in the importation these plastc rice must be jailed for life. African governments must protest seriously against Chinese government. These satanic rice are produced by chinese.

Africans must be very careful about foods they import from china. All these untimely deaths in Ghana, who knows the cause of it.

Disorganized, undiscipline society always looking for preachers to save them with prayers will be use by the world for profit. Don't blame the Cninesse but blame those officials who allows these practices to go on at the expense of the population? Corruption will see worse things than plastic rice enter the society unless officials and businessmen are severely punish regardless of party affiliation.

Ghanaian consumers should take their fate in their own hands and not listen to some of these corrupt institutions.
Who does not know the damage these Chinese are doing to the environment of our country with the connivance of some corrupt individuals, chiefs and politicians.

Just revealed: Plastic rice is already in circulation in Ghana,
easily to mix with other real rice to swell to bigger balls of TUO ZAFI,
Ghanaians like quick, cheap & tasty ready made food,

which authority goes to control these chop bars of their daily basic ingredients of the dishes they serve to the public?
Even some popular Fm. stations has warned to deaf ears of the public!!!,

Omo Tuo is different from Tuo Zafi. Omo tuo is made with rice and tuo zafi is with millet. So it could rather be mixed with omo tuo and not tuo zafi

It is made in China. I saw the video sometime ago on WhatsApp. Ghanaians and Africa in general should be careful with Chinese. They are in Africa to destroy Africa and take over.

And it's because prices of things have doubled and even tripled. So a Nigerian has gone to China to make "rice" people can afford. I believe the FDA because the situations in GH and Naija are not the same now.

Custom officers who take bribe and collude with scrupulous business men and women to import plastic rice to the country will be the first to eat the rice and suffer the consequences.

Nigerians could be more adventurous with diet. Not all rice has the same constitution. In Lagos some prefer just the familiar greens, and frown on others. I remember even cocoyam leaves that Ghanaians like so much offend them. Some Chinese prefer the sticky rice, ok? Not plastic.

We Nigerians, Ghanaians and Africans must be ashamed of ourselves for importing rice to feed ourselves.
We should have been exporting rice given the arable land we are blessed with on the continent.

We Africans must be very careful about the Chinese.because of their huge population they are looking for more land to expand.They will do anything to exterminate us and occupy our land just like Europeans did in America and Australia. I have been advising men to refrain from using those Chinese aphrodisiacs and the women not to be using those vaginal creams.They are harmful and are meant to depopulate us and occupy Africa.deep inside,THEY HATE US.

You are right iddi. The only problem is that our corrupt immigration and customs officers will help the Chinese to kill us all by taking bribes from them.

Anyone who cooks and eat this thing is the dumbest person ever lived on planet earth.
I grew up in one of the towns on the Accra-Tema beach road and we used to collect them by the roadside when the articulators that carts it from the port to industrial area breaks down and some of the bags are broken. That was long time ago.

Nii, anyone who cooks and eats 'food' that is shaped like rice, looks exactly like rice, bagged as rice, labeled like rice and sold as rice is not 'dumb' just as when someone buys a fake malaria medication from a pharmacy cannot be called dumb. Those who make and send them into our country are the one's who are dumb. The ordinary man does not have a lab in his house to test whether or not it is real

If you are foreigner you get lucky to get a Chinese woman married, don't ever think you get residential permit. Chinese don't participate U N Peace keeping program.
