The entity denied the rumour on social media, stating that the product in the market is 'halal' and alcohol free.
It explained that there was a mistake translating the food ingredients into Arabic. The word 'chocolate liquor' was literally translated to alcohol, on the other hand, it should have been translated to cocoa paste, the municipality added.
