The dot-shaped candy product has obtained a production permit from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). "Yes, it's true (it already has a permit)," said Head of the BPOM Food and Drug Investigation Center Hendri Siswadi, when contacted in Jakarta, Thursday, March 9 2017.

The candy in the form of a pacifier suspected of containing drugs was found in Surabaya, East Java. BPOM Surabaya is examining the content of candy which is suspected to contain drugs. However, temporary results, said Hendri, the content of hazardous materials has not been found. "Until today, BPOM Surabaya has tested using 16 parameters with negative results."

The discovery of the candy allegedly containing drugs stems from the routine operation of the Civil Service Police Unit when raiding students who were truant during school hours in Surabaya. One of them is in an Internet cafe that is usually used as a hangout place for students when playing truant.

During the operation, the team found an elementary school student who felt dizzy after consuming candy. The head of the Civil Service Police Unit, Irvan Widianto, said that there were several forms of drug candy in the form of baby pacifiers with the brand name Hard Candy and jelly sticks.
