Through inspection and screening, the school discovered that the students ate the same type of candy (the candy wrapper had foreign words and no Vietnamese label) at a grocery store on the street near the school gate.

A representative of the People's Committee of Binh Lieu District said that before the above incident, the authorities of Binh Lieu District were present at a resident's store in front of the gate of Hoanh Mo Secondary and High School to conduct inspection and verification.

At the time of inspection, the store only sold Vietnamese candy with full labels. In addition, the seller also admitted to selling a few packs of candy to students, purchased from an unidentified person who came to sell it.
