The total amount was (2,300) bags, each weighing (100) grams, with a total of 230,000 grams. These items were destroyed after completing the necessary procedures. The destroyed materials are prohibited for trade due to the health risks they pose to consumers.

The Authority urges consumers to report any violations they may observe through the various communication channels available.
