The recognition given by Guinness World Records to Yangzhou in East China's Jiangsu province for the world's largest serving of fried rice has been revoked due to food wastage after the organizer failed to properly dispose of the fried rice as promised, according to micro blog account of Guinness World Records Ltd.

Yangzhou, which is observing its 2,500th anniversary this year, is famous for its fried rice flavored with eggs, sea cucumber and other ingredients. As part of the celebrations, Yangzhou tried to break the world record of the largest fried rice serving, an event hosted by the World Association of Chinese Cuisine in which about 300 people cooked more than 4 metric tons of fried rice on Thursday.

Some rice was not considered edible after four hours in the cooker. Then the organizer gave 150 kilograms of the rice to a pig breeding farm nearby.
