Remember the old days when you and your playmates rushing to the sari-sari store to buy this candy? Yes, and this one’s my favorite. White Rabbit. The candy’s not actually white; it’s brown. c”,) From the regular brown candy, it’s followed by the white chewy and now creamy candy, and there’s a catch, the inner wrapper or the rice paper is edible. Wow! Wrapper-ricepaper-eater? Recently, there were reports, this candy’s confirmed containing formaldehyde. Formaldehyde known as “formalin” is of course popular to some; notably in embalming.
The Bureau of Food and Drug banned White Rabbit Creamy Candy to local stores and supermarkets together with Milk Candy, Bairong Grape Biscuits and Yong Kang food grape biscuit.Joshua Ramos, BFAD Director quoted, “ refrain from buying products positive for formaldehyde until such time they are safe to be consumed.”
