Misleading consumers

The food authority should take stern action against food companies for marketing tea whiteners as milk. CCP has issued show cause notices to a few firms who have been involved in marketing and advertising tea whiteners as milk. A number of companies are openly marketing and misleading consumers.

The concerned authorities must take action against firms that are still marketing tea whiteners as milk. The products are thought to be particularly harmful to children. Awareness should also be raised among people and they should be told the adverse effects consuming tea-whitener can have on public health.
