This emerges from consistent reports from several media outlets online on Wednesday. Accordingly, the rice was discovered during an inspection by food inspectors at a Viennese wholesale company. Alexander Hengl from the responsible market office of the city of Vienna confirmed the case.
Accordingly, in order to comply with EU regulations, the trader presented a laboratory report from the Indian manufacturer, according to which the rice was of perfect quality. The market office subjected the rice to its own analysis, which revealed the contamination. The rice should have been supplied primarily to restaurants.
