Candy in the form of milk teats or hard candy suspected of containing narcotics has been tested by the Surabaya City Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BBPOM) laboratory. The result, the candy is negative for narcotics.

The Acting BBPOM for the City of Surabaya, Retno Kurpaningsih, said there were 16 items tested to determine the presence or absence of addictive substances. The results are all negative.
"We tested whether there was amphetamine and methamphetamine content," he said, in Surabaya, Thursday, March 9 2017.

To the public, Retno said that the hard candy money that was raided by the Satpol PP on Monday, March 7 2017 was not dangerous. BBPOM Friday, March 10 will submit the results of this laboratory test to the Surabaya City Health Office as an applicant for laboratory tests.

It was also informed that there were students who after consuming hard candy experienced coughing and hoarseness in their throats. However, Retno still does not know about the new findings.

"I don't know yet. Meanwhile, what we do know is that one student felt dizzy after consuming it. We will investigate again later," he said.

Retno promised to investigate again and to carry out laboratory tests even though there were samples that had been tested. Unfortunately, Retno has not announced what will be investigated next.
