THE Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) denied that the agency has issued an advisory against a milk tea products allegedly tested positive for cannabis alkaloids or marijuana.
PDEA Director General Moro Virgilio Lazo, in a statement on Saturday, said he did not sign the pictured/posted document (the seemingly “signature” was meant to be an X mark).
The X mark was intended for matters related to the PDEA’s one-strike policy on personnel who fail the regular mandatory surprise drug tests that had to be verbally disseminated within the agency.
Lazon said that even as PDEA is not the government agency that is mandated to determine and check the safety of food and beverage products for public consumption, the Agency will closely coordinate and submit its findings to the proper authorities.
