A group of 300 people who cooked four tonnes 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, confirmed Guinness World Records Ltd. on Monday morning. 吉尼斯官方于周一上午表示，由于存在食物浪费情况，中国东部省份江苏省扬州市4吨炒饭的300名炒制人被告知其挑战纪录无效。 "We held back on publicizing the results because we had been reviewing the information submitted by the organizer," Sharon Yang, Guinness Greater China marketing director, told Xinhua. 吉尼斯世界纪录大中华区市场总监莎伦·杨向新华社表示：“我们推迟公布结果，是因为在审查主办方提供的信息。” "The organizer admitted that 150 kilograms of the rice was handled improperly. The products created in any record attempt involving food must be given to people and not wasted. Hereby, we have notified the organizer that the record was revoked," she said. “主办方承认对150公斤炒饭有不恰当处理。大型食品记录中食品最终要供民众食用，不得浪费。因此我们通知主办方此次挑战记录被取消了，”她说。 This decision came after reports that the rice was used as pig feed. 有报导称炒饭被用作猪饲料之后，吉尼斯官方做出了此项决定。 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 tonnes of Yangzhou fried rice. |
