Dubai - "A video has circulated on social media channels about the presence of worms in Brand X's green teabags," the civic body posted on its social media pages without mentioning the name of the company.

The Dubai Municipality has denied rumours of worms in certain green teabags and asked the public not to circulate a video publicising this false claim.
"A video has circulated on social media channels about the presence of worms in Brand X's green teabags," the civic body posted on its social media pages without mentioning the name of the company.
"The people in the video are spreading rumours and claiming they care about the public health in society while they do the opposite and spread false information based on people's imaginations with no scientific or logical basis," the post read.
"The Food Safety Department at the Dubai Municipality would like to show the consumers the ignorance of such people and advises everyone not to circulate such videos and instead go to the responsible authorities to verify the information and get the correct and trusted scientific answer from official scientific and legal authorities," it added.
