Alert issued over sale of poisonous strawberry candies in Multan schools

Deputy Commissioner Multan Mohammad Ali Bokhari on Tuesday issued an alert regarding sale of prohibited strawberry candies in schools, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Ali Bukhari in a statement said that the candy is a potential threat to children’s health. Bukhari has classified “Strawberry Quick” as a “new form of sweet poison,” indicating its serious consequences for young consumers.

The Deputy Commissioner highlighted that this candy is a “deadly poison,” and children are being given “crystal meth” in the form of candy. Normally parents rely on apparently harmless sweets to pacify their children, such products are not noticed and are chosen frequently.

Parents are advised to prevent their children from accepting any doubtful candy and advised them to be proactive in preventing their children from consuming any suspicious treats including ‘sweet poison’.

Alongside this alarming news from Multan, there have been reports from Peshawar regarding the sale of unhealthy lollipops in the People’s Market. Consequently, the district administration took prompt action aware of the rising trend of drug addiction amongst children.

The Deputy Commissioner said that strict action will be taken against those schools in which unhygienic candies were sold.
