Customs officials have arrested two people on suspicion of selling rice with fake packaging to up to a hundred restaurants in Hong Kong.
Officials say the suspects are directors of a food distribution company.
They are believed to have been mixing rice from bona fide manufacturers with substandard rice and repackaging it for sale.
More than 20 tonnes of rice, most of it already mixed, has been seized from an industrial unit in San Po Kong.
The rice is believed to be worth around HK$170,000.
