A total of 345 candy pacifiers which were confiscated by the Surabaya City Government Satpol PP officers during a raid on street snacks some time ago, were returned to their owners. This follows an announcement issued by BPOM that the candy is negative for drugs.
The Head of Public Relations of the Surabaya City Government Muhammad Fikser said that during a raid some time ago, the Satpol PP officers recorded the names of the sellers and the number of confiscated candies, so that the process of returning the confiscated items would be easy.
"It was returned to the merchant because it did not contain hazardous materials. The Satpol PP during the raid had data. Who was the seller and how many items were confiscated," said Fikser when confirmed by Okezone, Friday (10/3/2017).
Satpol PP will also return sweets confiscated from several kelurahan. As is known, there are 14 sub-districts which are locations for the distribution of pacifiers in Surabaya. Most sellers are around Elementary Schools (SD) and Kindergartens (TK).
Fikser explained, from the results of the Surabaya Health Service's examination, the pacifier only contained dye. "For candy pacifiers, there are dyes but they are not dangerous," he said.
Candy return will start tomorrow. "It's a pity for the traders if it is confiscated. They also buy to sell again," he added.
