        "summary": "The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) is developing fireless instant food technology, including self-heating mechanisms using materials like zeolite and lime, to enhance food services for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims. This innovation ensures food safety and availability, particularly in areas like Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina, where traditional heating may be challenging. Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan has praised the initiative, assuring pilgrims of secure and sufficient food supplies amid global geopolitical tensions.",

From canned food, flexible\npackaging including for saucy meat, to fireless heating technology. The\nlast technology is what we will continue to develop going forward,\u201d said\nArif Satria.<\/p>\n<p>Arif mentioned that the developed technology uses materials such as\nzeolite, lime, and others to heat food simply by adding cold water,\nwithout needing to heat the water.<\/p>\n<p>The BRIN Head also said he has tasted the ready-to-eat food using\nthis technology. According to him, the served food is sufficiently hot\nto enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to develop this technology. Our main basis is food\nsafety and food security. By ensuring it does not contain harmful\nsubstances, and supported by other technologies,\u201d said Arif Satria.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan\nappreciated BRIN\u2019s support for food technology, especially in food\npackaging to make it more durable before entering the distribution and\ntrade stages.<\/p>\n<p>Zulhas, as he is familiarly known, emphasised that the food sent is\nspecifically for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims and not for circulation in\nSaudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>He also assured the availability of food for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims\nis secure, despite global geopolitical dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding Hajj pilgrims\u2019 consumption, the condition is safe. Even\nthough there are geopolitical issues, pilgrims do not need to worry\nabout food. Food is available at every mealtime, Insya Allah\nsufficiently complete and not lacking anything. Food is safe for\nIndonesian Hajj pilgrims,\u201d said Coordinating Minister Zulkifli\nHasan.<\/p>",
