The noodles with excessive cadmium content were produced by a factory in Daojiao township in Dongguan, he said.
"The rice noodle manufacturer has a license to operate and its products meet the State's hygiene requirements but it has no provisions for cadmium content inspections," Xie told local media.
"The university has sealed up a remaining nine bags of rice noodles for further investigation," he added.
A senior executive from the rice noodle factory said his company was a victim of the tainted rice when it purchased 12 tons of the grain from Hunan province early this year.
"Now the company has sealed up the remaining suspected tainted rice noodles for further investigation and has promised to recall all the tainted products it has sold," he said.
Insiders said Cuizhu brand rice noodles used to sell well in Guangzhou and about 80 percent of the rice noodles sold in Guangzhou are produced by the rice companies in the Daojiao township of Dongguan.
Huang Weiliang, manager of the No 3 Canteen of South China Business College of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, said no tainted rice has been cooked for the students and teachers.
The college received the tainted rice from a local supplier and eight bags of it were cooked for a test meal in March.
"We immediately sealed up the tainted rice, which came from Hunan province, when we learned the cadmium content of the rice inspected exceeded national standards," he said.
