Emergency off the shelf! Thailand prohibits the sale of such products!

Thailand's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a ban on the sale of wax sugar products mainly imported from China and sold through online platforms. It warned that such foods are illegal in Thailand and recently instructed platforms such as Lazada and Shopee to stop selling them. 

FDA spokeswoman Narong Aphikulvanich said not removing such "illegal products" from the platform could result in fines of up to 30,000 tetras. Searches for the "candy wax" on popular online shopping platforms such as Lazada and Shopee show they are no longer available.

Many consumers and social media users have expressed concern about the popularity of these colored wax candies, saying they could be dangerous to children because the wax part of the product is inedible. The candies usually come in different shapes and contain fruity syrup.

FDA Veerachai Nalawachai said the wax is inedible and should not be swallowed. He also said wax candies sold online do not have Thai food labels, so consumers do not know details about the production process or whether they are safe to eat.

"So people shouldn't eat it." he warned, adding that the FDA will strictly enforce the law against anyone who sells wax candy without permission. 

紧急下架！泰国严禁销售该类产品！

       泰国食品和药品监督管理局(FDA)对主要从中国进口并通过在线平台销售的蜡糖产品发出禁售令。该机构警告说，此类食品在泰国是非法的，并于近日指示Lazada、Shopee等平台停止销售。

       FDA发言人Narong Aphikulvanich表示，不将此类“非法产品”从平台上移除可能会导致最高3万泰铁的罚款。在Lazada和Shopee等热门在线购物平台上搜索这种“蜡糖”时，显示已搜不到。

       许多消费者和社交媒体用户对这些彩色蜡糖的流行表示担忧，称它们可能对儿童造成危险，因为产品的蜡部分是不可食用的。这些糖果通常有不同的形状，并含有果味糖浆。

       FDA Veerachai Nalawachai表示，这种蜡不可食用，不应吞咽。他还表示，网上销售的蜡糖没有泰文食品标签，因此消费者不知道生产过程或是否可以安全食用的详细信息。

       “所以人们不应该吃它。”他警告说，并补充说FDA将严格执法，打击任何未经许可销售蜡糖的人。
