A video by a local influencer has gone viral after she questioned discrepancies between an English ingredient sticker and the original packaging of a food product allegedly purchased at Sunway Pyramid.
In the clip, she claimed the English label did not clearly state “pork,” while the original ingredient list allegedly included the term “babi.” The video prompted concerns among Muslim consumers about product transparency and halal compliance. It was also mentioned that Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) had responded to the issue.
Netizens Divided Over “Babi” Label Interpretation
The post drew strong reactions, with many users pointing out that the English label reportedly stated “bacon seasoning powder,” arguing that bacon is commonly associated with pork. Others stressed the importance of checking for official halal certification before purchasing.
Some commenters defended the influencer, saying ingredient terminology can be confusing, while others criticised what they viewed as a misunderstanding of common culinary terms.
The incident has reignited discussion on ingredient labelling clarity and consumer awareness regarding halal products.
