A 15-year-old boy suffered burns on his palm and experienced pain in the throat after touching and consuming biscuits which emit a cloud of vapour when eaten.
The victim, Mohd Aiman Mohd Ridwan also complained that he was still struggling with the pain in the throat even though it has been over 30 hours after he had consumed the so-called 'Dragon Breath' cookie.
"I ate the fourth biscuit and immediately felt the sting in my mouth," said Mohd Aiman.
Mohd Aiman said he also noticed something strange when he felt a painful sting on his hand after it was exposed to the ‘smoky' biscuits.
He later realised the extent of his injury after seeing the palm of his hand became swollen and full of blisters akin to an exposure to hot water.
His mother, Nordiana Yaacob, 45, said she had bought the biscuit at a stall at the late night bazaar here on Friday for RM10 per bowl.
Concerned about the content of the biscuits, she lodged a complaint with the Consumers Association of Kedah (Cake).
Cake secretary, Mohamad Yusoff Yusrizal confirmed receiving five complaints involving the same cookie.
"We found out that the 'Dragon Breath’ cookie uses liquid nitrogen to emit vapour.
"To our knowledge, nitrogen is extremely harmful to health," he said during an interview with Astro AWANI at his office, here, today.
Liquid nitrogen has a variety of uses and is increasingly common at top restaurants as a method to instantly freeze food and drinks. It creates an impressive cloud of vapour or fog when exposed to air.
Cake has since urged the authorities, including the State Health Department, to conduct a thorough investigation to avoid such incident from repeating.
