A video is getting viral on social media showing a tablet coming out from inside the cake after opening the packet of cake labeled as ‘Luppo’. Users on social media are claiming that this cake, made by Muslims, is only sold in Hindu areas.
An account by the name of YogiAdityanathFan(DigitalWarrior)Godse’s devotee tweeted a video with a caption:” A new cake made by heretic jihadists has hit the market. There is a tablet inside the cake of Luppo company which paralyzes children. Please send this video to your friends Sold only in the Hindu region. Take care of your kids and take care of yourself”.

Fact-check
To verify the claims of the above viral video, the Dfrac team converted the video into some keyframes and then reverse-searched it on Google. Meanwhile, we found a news article published on November 16, 2021, by a Malayalam website named janayugomonline regarding this video with the headline: “Contraceptive Pill in Cake to Control Hindu Population; Unveiling the Truth”.
In this news article, janayugomonline discussed about a video released by a Turkish food manufacturing company in 2019, which is currently being shared with the intention of promoting anti-Muslim sentiments and religious hatred. The Turkish company took legal action against it.
Moreover, we found this video uploaded on a YouTube channel named Hanan Cohen on November 4, 2019, with the description: “If you have any new information about this issue, please write me to [email protected] Thanks – Hanan Cohen Probably fake. After watching the video several times, it seems to me that the person knows where the pills are and is showing us where he put them. If you look for pills in a cake, you usually crumble the cake. In this video, the person carefully takes the cake apart”.
The Luppo Coconut Cream Cake, shown in the video, is basically a product of the Turkish company Solen. Turkish fact-check website Teyit refuted the viral claim in 2019 after accessing laboratory results of the product’s manufacturing process.
Conclusion
It is clear from Dfrac’s Fact-Check that the viral video was posted three years ago and is completely fake, hence the claim of social media users is false.
