ACTION will be taken against those who sell fortified biscuits provided by the World Food Program (WFP), according to the UN Myanmar.
Social media networks mention fortified biscuits provided by the WFP are sold in Nay Pyi Taw, but such sales cannot show any evidence.
Such kinds of biscuits were provided by the WFP on 1 April in Nay Pyi Taw. In this regard, WFP noted that the biscuits supplied as humanitarian aid should not be resold. The organization is monitoring similar expressions on social media networks, and immediate action will be taken against the sale of fortified biscuits.
Fortified biscuits are produced for the urgent consumption of individuals in emergencies when it is impossible to consume regular foodstuffs and cooked meals.
Reportedly, WFP prohibited feeding fortified biscuits to children under six months. But, children above six months can be fed the biscuits after they have been breastfed. Moreover, adults can consume some five packets of fortified biscuits a day. — ASH/TTA
