TV stations in Jamaica recently had news features on what appeared to be plastic rice melting in household pots and their video features went viral on Instagram, over here in Barbados there are now two separate videos circulating on WhatsApp showing what appears to be “plastic cabbage,” which caused one merchant to summon health authorities…

In one of the social media videos, a Barbadian is seen holding a cabbage leaf over an open flame on a stove – and the “leaf” appears to be rather flame resistant.

Mr Bynoe, a former Senator, says he called Port Health, which is responsible for assessing imported products, and he’s awaiting word on whether personnel would follow through with an inspection of his stock.
