BANGKOK – The Public Health Ministry has given assurances that Thai rice is safe and free from chemical residue.

Random inspections have been conducted at rice packaging locations since June 18. Fifty-four rice samples were checked by the FDA and thirty three samples by the Medical Sciences Department (MDF), and preliminary results said there was no residue from fumigation.The lab tests findings confirmed that the rice was chemical-free while the levels of yeast and fungus did not exceed regulated standard. Thus, Thai rice is safe for consumption.

It would be real bad if people ingested chemical from the rest. Majority of the citizens would become sick as rice is consumed by 80 percent of the population. #thainews #thailand #rice #inspection
