JAKARTA: The potential use of “fish milk” as an ingredient in Indonesian President-elect Prabowo Subianto’s free lunch programme has created a stir, with some questioning if the solution is truly healthy or simply hard to swallow.
In Indonesia, fish milk is made from locally produced fish protein processed into powder form, and then turned into a liquid, which is flavoured to hide its “fishy” origins.
