The Department of Health today clarified information circulating online alleging that three of its Elderly Health Centres would distribute free travel-sized milk powder samples for joint health was untrue.

It pointed out that the milk powder brand in question and its products have no affiliation with the department, and that the health centres will not distribute any samples on behalf of any brands.

The matter has been reported to Police and to the relevant social platform, while the department reserves the right to pursue legal action.
