MINISTRY of Industry, Trade and Investment has denied reports over presence of ‘plastic rice’ in the local market.

Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr Charles Mwijage told journalists in Dar es Salaam today that the rice samples which were tested have shown good results, insisting that the government will make sure that such commodity does not find its way into the local market.

Mr Mwijage called upon the public to report to respective authorities in case of any queries regarding commodities instead of spreading false information through social media.

“If there is any person with sufficient information over the presence of plastic rice should report to the respective authority through 0800110827,” Mr Mwijage said.
