Stockholm's Environmental and Health Protection Board made the decision to ban the ice cream bar from selling so-called Dragon's Breath just over a week ago, something the news agency Siren was the first to report on.
The decision comes after a doctor at Astrid Lindgren's children's hospital alerted that a child was in need of intensive care after testing the corn balls.
- We started examining this immediately after the doctor's report.
Our role is to stop products on the market that are not considered safe.
In this case, it is also about a child who has been affected, says food inspector Helena Rosén to the news agency Siren.
Chief Physician: "Frostbite damage in the airways"
The Poison Information Center has previously warned of the popular corn balls which, when sold, are filled with liquid nitrogen with the aim of puffing out the nitrogen gas with the corn ball in the mouth.
But pleasure is associated with risks and can, in the worst case, rupture one's stomach.
- You can get frostbite in both the airways and the gastrointestinal tract, Christin Edmark, chief physician at the Poison Information Center, has previously told SVT.
According to the environmental administration, there are no reports that any other player in the municipality sells the corn balls.
