Iran's Ministry of Health-affiliated Food and Drug Organization said it would address "sanitary violations in food production" after a video of puffs being made in unsanitary conditions was released.
Hossein Sanifard, Technical Deputy of the General Department of Food and Beverage Products of the Food and Drug Organization, told the state news agency IRNA, "Any violation of health regulations and production requirements must be followed seriously and legal action will be taken against the offending units in accordance with the regulations."
However, Mr. Snifred did not say whether there was a meeting with the producers of the puffs whose videos were posted online, or whether or not their products were collected.
According to this source in the Ministry of Health, "meeting the health requirements at all stages of the production and supply of food products is one of the essential principles in protecting the health of consumers."
He also called on "consumers to act consciously in choosing food products according to health permits and nutritional indices".
