According to him, the food control had been intensified since March 28 and would be continued until May 6, 2022. Overall, as many as 1,899 circulation facilities were inspected.

Then ingredients that are prohibited from being used in the food in question are formalin, borax, and coloring substances that are prohibited for food (Rhodamine B and Methanyl Yellow).

On the other hand, supervision results in 2022 showed that of the 7,200 samples examined, 109 samples (1.51 percent) contained ingredients that were prohibited from being used in food (Formalin (0.72 percent), Rhodamin B (0.45 percent), and Borax (0.34 percent).
