PETALING JAYA: Despite ongoing chatter that the labels on locally grown rice have been switched with those of imported grains, authorities say they have found no evidence of such practices.

“Stringent enforcement measures demonstrate the government’s commitment to protecting the interests of consumers and local rice producers,” said the Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry’s Padi Industry Development Division director-general Datuk Azman Mahmood.
