The head of BPOM RI, Penny Kusumastuti Lukito, emphasized that the teat candy is negative for drugs and does not contain other harmful substances. This assurance was obtained after conducting a series of inspections of the candy.

"After being tested and investigated using 12 determining parameters, no drug content and other dangerous food ingredients were found. This means that there is no prohibition on the sale of candy, which has been distributed almost throughout Indonesia," said Peny on the sidelines of the National BPOM National Conference at the Singhasari Hotel, Batu City, East Java, Thursday (9/3/2017).

He explained that the issue of candy pacifiers containing drugs became popular after a report from a resident from Surabaya. It was said that a child who consumed pacifiers experienced dizziness and was addicted. "We also ask the media to provide correct information to the public," he concluded
