1. The video highlights several product brands from Malaysia from several refrigerators. Some products are pork meatballs, and some are processed fish meatballs.
2. Based on news from Antaranews, the Head of the Class II Pekanbaru Animal and Plant Quarantine Office in the Selatpanjang working area, drh. Abdul Aziz Nasution stated that halal and non-halal goods were packed neatly and had been separated.
