A group of 300 people who cooked four tons of fried rice in Yangzhou in the eastern province of Jiangsu have been told that they failed to break the world record because the food had been wasted, said Guinness World Records Ltd.(吉尼斯世界纪录) on Monday morning. "We didn’t announce the results because we had been checking the information given by the organizer," said Sharon Yang, Guinness Greater China marketing director. "The organizer admitted that 150 kilograms of the rice was not done in the right way. The products created in any record about food must be given to people and not wasted. So, we have told the organizer that the record was cancelled," she said. This decision came after reports that the rice was used as pig food.

This year is the 2,500th anniversary of Yangzhou City. As part of the celebrations, 300 people last Friday spent four hours cooking 4.19 tons of Yangzhou fried rice. The fried rice reportedly broke the previous record, which had been held by Turkey. The organizer had said that the fried rice would be given to students of four schools.
