Since the prohibition, the government has instructed formaldehyde producers to add a bitter substance
to formaldehyde products to prevent it from being consumed and used in food production, she noted.

She said she suspected that the two factories were using formaldehyde substances that were not mixed

no bitter substance. I am very disappointed, and I deplore this behavior," Lukito remarked.
