EXPLANATION

(1) http://bit.ly/2qYG8Rs, First Draft News: “Misleading Content

Misleading use of information to frame an issue or individual”.

* The SOURCE shared recycled twisted video which previously already circulated, edited by adding narrative/claim “careful do not let children buy snack carelessly” (“awas jangan biarkan anak jajan sembarangan”).

* The SOURCE added twisted narrative while sharing the video which has caused false conclusion.

(2) Snopes: “Sölen provided multiple documents showing the safety certifications of the plants where Sölen products, including the Luppo coconut cream bar, are manufactured. Those inspections were conducted by the Swiss company SGS.

Crucially, the spokesperson also pointed out that among the several filtration systems used in producing and processing the batter, cream, chocolate and filling components of various Luppo bars was one that blocks any particle greater than 700 microns (0.7 millimeters) in height or width.

The “tablets” shown in the viral video footage are clearly larger than those dimensions, and so could not have been added to the cake bar while it was being made. The spokesperson also noted that the production process is entirely automated, meaning the components of each snack are “untouched by human hands” until each product is already in its packaging.”
