The sennoside is restricted to be used only for medicines and cannot be used for food products. It is mainly used in medicines for constipation, and if this ingredient is abused, it can cause side effects such as diarrhea, stomachache, and vomiting.

An official from the MFDS said, "Consumers who purchased the product should return it to where they bought. If there are illegal food-related activities, please report it by junk food report call (1399)." (ANI/Global Economic)
