Education authorities issued a health warning about the sale of candy balls near schools. These products, which do not have Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and are not correctly labelled according to Ministry of Public Health announcements and Food Act B.E. 2522, could potentially harm children’s health. This was revealed today by Pheumpoon Chidchob, Education Minister.
