According to local media such as Line Today, a Thai man posted photos and posts of silica gel found in fried rice on social media.
He felt like chewing sand while eating fried rice he ordered at the restaurant. At first, he thought it was because of the seasoning, but when he ate half of it, he found a small, transparent ball-shaped foreign object.
Turns out it was silica gel used as a desiccant.
He immediately stopped eating, separated silica gel from the rice, and photographed it and showed it to the restaurant owner.
The owner admitted that the chef accidentally dropped the desiccant on the food.
The man already felt nauseous from eating a significant amount of silica gel and vomited around 5 a.m. the next day.
I was examined at the hospital, and the doctor explained that silica gel is not a life-threatening substance, but it can cause nausea.
The doctor advised you to drink a lot of water to help flush it out of your body.
He said the restaurant owner has decided not to take any further legal action as he said he will compensate for medical expenses.
