Rice sold under rationing plan had worms
in it
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - June 28 (Félix
Reyes Gutiérrez, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - The government
food distribution network sold wormy rice
in Caibarién under the food rationing
plan. Consumers complained the worms were
so big they could be mistaken for grains
of rice.
At the La Estrella establishment, one unhappy
consumer, Yakenia Hernández, said:
"This is more worms than rice; they
are going to kill us."
At the Unidad 35 outlet, Yanet Bermúdez
said: "Any day now, they'll give us
worms instead of rice."
The quota rice, sold at 25 centavos a pound,
is five pounds per person per month.
Rice is a staple in the Cuban diet.
