Chinese sweet maker denies poisonous chemical reports

SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) says it has taken samples of White Rabbit Creamy Candy for testing.

The move comes after the Philippines banned the candy and three other Chinese sweet brands following tests which showed they contained formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is a chemical compound commonly used in the production of polymers.

The Chinese maker has so far denied its sweets contain the toxic chemical.

The candy is imported into Singapore by two companies. - CNA/yy
