This fake jasmine rice is allegedly being sold in China under fake Thai trademarks and labels saying the rice is imported from Thailand.
DFT director-general Ronnarong Phoolpipat said on Friday that the department received complaints from Thai rice exporters that these mills were adding artificial fragrance to imitate the signature aroma of Thai “hom mali” or jasmine rice.
He added that DFT had alerted Beijing of the three factories, and they had been ordered shut. The authorities have also reportedly found that the factories violated several other laws related to food safety, product quality and advertising.• Anhui Huainan Shouxian Yongliang Rice Industry, which sells rice labelled “ราชาไทย” under the “Tai Zhi Wang” brand.
• Huainan Chufeng Industry and Trade, selling fake jasmine rice under the brands “Tai Guo Xiang Mi” and “Tai Xiang Mi”, which translates to “Thai Jasmine Rice”. The DFT will soon hold talks with the Thai Rice Exporters Association about suing these factories for damages. DFT plans to take them to court in China.
