#26: Rice

You might assume rice from China is a safe and affordable choice, but that assumption can be dangerously misleading. In some shocking cases, Chinese rice factories have been caught adding synthetic resin shaped like rice grains, mixing plastic into food.

This deceptive tactic cuts costs, even though rice is inexpensive. The result? Consumers unknowingly ingest plastic resins linked to cancer and other serious health issues. What looks like a simple rice bowl could hide toxic risks that no one bargained for.
