Unspun

Legal Aid Institute for Unhealth


This is one of the things that do not really make sense.

The National Food and Medicine Monitoring Agency (BPOM), it seems to Unspun, were actually doing their job when they recalled several candies after finding that they contained formaldehyde.

So why is the Legal Aid Institute for Health filing a report against the BPOM head for negligence. If she was negligent the BPOM would not have conducted tests that revealed that several brands of candies contained formaldehyde. And even if they did, if they were truly negligent, they would not have recalled the candies.

So what does the Legal Aid Institute hope to achieve with this move? Discourage the BPOM from doing the right thing and recalling candies that contain formaldehyde?Just doesn’t make sense.

Is this worth a shit-for-brains tag?

Agency head reported to police

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

The Legal Aid Institute for Health has reported the head of the National Food and Medicine Monitoring Agency, Husniah Rubiana Thamrin Akib, to the Jakarta Police for failing to check imported foods for dangerous substances.

The report was filed Saturday in the wake of the agency’s recall last week of seven imported candy products found to contain formaldehyde.

The Chinese-made candies, which included the popular White Rabbit brand, have been sold in Indonesia for over two decades.
