Egypt's Ministry of Supply has warned against any manipulation of the country's wheat supply by mixing domestic wheat with imported one or mixing it with silt and sand.
All amounts of wheat that have been tampered with will be siezed and confiscated, the state news agency MENA reported the ministry as saying.
Police managed to sieze and confiscate 300 tons of wheat mixed with yellow silt in Fayoum, the ministry said.
