Regarding the issue of colored chilies and ayam ungkep, her party had deployed personnel to the field to hold food inspections in traditional and modern markets.

"Second, food safety. So it must be ensured that food is healthy and of good quality," he asserted.
According to him, the quality of food during the pandemic was very important for families. It was because the healthy and nutritious food would increase immunity and minimize the potential for exposure to COVID-19.
