Report of poor-quality rice an isolated case – NFA exec

National Food Authority (NFA) Administrator Judy Carol Dansal on Saturday vouched for the quality of NFA rice, and emphasized that the report of poor-quality rice being sold at the Pasig Mega Market was an isolated case.

In a Saturday report by Tina Panganiban-Perez on Balitanghali Weekend, Dansal said that NFA personnel who toured the market found only good-quality rice from retailers.

The NFA personnel also confirmed that the stocks of the retailer who had complained against the poor-quality rice had been replaced.

Dansal also explained that the NFA had policies and warehouse-keeping protocols for the storage and selling of rice.

Consumers and a retailer had earlier reported that a stock of NFA rice was dark-colored and smelled bad. There was also a complaint of worms in the stock. — Joahna Lei Casilao/DVM, GMA News
