FAQ:
Is plastic rice real or a myth?
Most reports are unverified, but testing can offer peace of mind.

Is there an official way to test rice?
Food safety authorities use lab testing, but these home methods are good preliminary checks.

Can I still eat the rice after testing it?
No. Discard any rice used in the fire, oil, or mold tests.
