The Regent of Lebak Iti Octavia Jayabaya appealed to the public to supervise their children in buying light snacks, especially candy in the form of pacifiers. This is because the candy is suspected to contain hazardous substances and its circulation has now begun to spread in Lebak.

"Parents must also supervise their children, do not be careless in buying snacks. Moreover, we hear that there are candy snacks that contain dangerous substances," said Iti, Thursday (9/3/2017).

As a measure to anticipate the circulation of the candy, said Iti, it will withdraw the distribution of the candy in the market. It will also conduct laboratory tests to check the substances contained in the candy.

"We will do a laboratory test first. If there are hazardous substances, especially drugs, we will withdraw the circulation. Because the candy market is mostly children," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Lebak Industry and Trade Office, Hari Setiono, said that his party had distributed notices to the public to be wary of candy circulating without a clear label, especially candy allegedly containing drugs currently circulating in the market.
"We continue to monitor so that the candy is no longer circulating in Lebak," he said
