Notable facts
- Canning is at Ciawi (Bogor) and or Tanjung Morawa (Medan), so the Bali Strait lemuru default does not apply and the species is variable.
- Its canned mackerel, not its sarden, appeared on the 2018 BPOM Anisakis recall list, which covered canned mackerel only.
Behind the tin
The brand is owned by PT Jakarana Tama.
