It should be removed from the main run product.
Cereal or starchy worts make more methanol than sugar or fruit based spirits.

That's what I am led to believe. Many people seem to think (not saying it's impossible but unlikely) it's deliberately concocted out of methanol and water because that might be cheap, but the amounts of methanol in it are tiny. It's more likely what you say, bad manufacturing practices.

Why would they purchase methanol when they can make ethanol at a lower cost?
It is pure ignorance.
Speaking as a former small time distiller.

Fuck me, I always wondered why distilleries were so tightly regulated back home.

The dogs o' the excise.
Very simple to discard the foreshots.
All moonshiners know this.

I have no idea how much these chemicals cost. I haven't drunk rice wine in many years.

The Khmer Times is saying this:

Extra methanol mixed with wine caused Kampot poisonings

As a result, in a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry of Health said the National Public Health Laboratory showed about six out of 11 wine samples contained more than 0.2 percent methanol, up to 11.9 percent, which causes poisoning. The non-toxic level should not exceed 0.1 percent.

They say anything the moment it enters their pea brains.
In the natural process of distillation the meth comes across first- results being a very high concentration in the first bottle of the run.
Lethal dose is only about 30 ml.
