JAKARTA - President Director of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (GIAA) Irfan Setiaputra said his party would withdraw all snacks with illustrations of Kaesang Pangarep, the son of President Joko Widodo.

"We will withdraw all snacks to avoid conflicts of interest," said Irfan to VOI, Sunday, January 16.

Irfan also confirmed that Kaesang's photo on the snack packaging did not have any purpose.

This response was conveyed after a scene of photos of food packages circulating on the Garuda Indonesia airline with one of the snack packaging containing a picture of Kaesang's face.

It is known, the photo turned out to be a food package provided by the Garuda airline on the December 2021 flight.

Kaesang's face is plastered on the snack packaging because Kaesang is the brand ambassador of PT Jaya Swarasa Agung Tbk or Tays Bakers (TAYS) which is the producer of the snacks.

Launching Kumparan, the new packaging featuring the face of Kaesang is specifically intended for retail market distribution, as well as encouraging the promotion of national MSMEs.

"This new packaging is intended to introduce Tays Bakers in the retail market, considering the figure of Kaesang Pangarep who is close to Indonesian MSMEs," said Alexander Anwar, CEO of Tays Bakers.
