Its enforcement director, Datuk Iskandar Halim Sulaiman, said in a statement that the ministry had opened 12 investigation papers for further action after seizing the candy from the business outlets run by both wholesalers and retailers between July 23 and July 31. The case is being investigated under Section 5 of the Trade Descriptions Act 2011 on suspicion of selling items that used false trade descriptions, he said.

He also warned traders to immediately stop the sale of the candy which was widely sold to schoolchildren at 50 sen a packet.
