Following concerns over the quality of rice distributed to schools through the World Food Program (WFP), the program's Partnership Secretariat has moved to allay fears by confirming the safety of the rice provided for school feeding initiatives.
Assurances from the Partnership Secretariat highlight stringent protocols in place to guarantee the distribution of rice that meets safety standards for human consumption.
This determination is supported by government Analyst reports and MRI tests conducted on the rice stored at the Veyangoda warehouse, as stated by the Partnership Secretariat.
Moreover, an expert committee from the Gampaha Regional Health Services Directorate has given its stamp of approval, affirming the suitability of the rice for consumption within school settings.
