It turned out that the compound, which was found in liquid candies offered at a school counter, was not amphetamine, as previously claimed.
Associate Professor Margarita Gesheva, who is the head of the toxicology clinic in Pirogov, said that the found compound was not a narcotic substance, although it reacted as such.
A few days ago, the opinion that amphetamine was found in liquid candies worried hundreds of parents from the capital's 120th school.
"It's a cross-response - a false positive reaction in which some other ingredient reacts like amphetamine. Another ingredient, some chemistry, gave a positive reaction to amphetamine without amphetamine. It is impossible to have "- explains Gesheva.
According to her, such compounds are only very volatile and can exist in an aqueous environment for up to 2-3 hours.
Liquid candies made in China do not contain amphetamine, and experts remind that the drug is very expensive and it is impossible to distribute it almost for free in candy.
The BFSA announced that the company-importer of the product was fined and its permission for sales in Bulgarian schools was revoked.
Associate Professor Gesheva is adamant that the artificial ingredients and E's in the pink spray were more dangerous for the children.
One of the found ingredients in sweets is aspartame, which is 200 times sweeter than sugar and accumulates in the body. Large amounts of aspartame in the human body can cause serious illness over time.
Gesheva clarifies that the methods used for the examination of liquid candies are screening, and in order to have real legal value, an instrumental examination must be performed by liquid or gas chromatography.
The specialized laboratory in the Ministry of Interior also inspects the products, but for now the specialists have not given a deadline in which they will officially announce the results of the research.
The case of the 120th school provoked a number of inspections in school chairs and stalls throughout Sofia.
