Alt News performed a reverse search on one of the keyframes of the video extracted with the help of digital verification tool InVid and found that the video is from Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahsa municipality. A report by Arabic website Al Marsd published on May 14, 2020 included this video. According to the report<\/a>, the Ministry of Trade destroyed large quantities of cheese spoilt due to poor storage. The Ministry also denied the rumours circulating at the time that these products contained carcinogenic substances.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabian media portal Anti Rumor Authority had also put out a tweet<\/a> debunking this rumour. The Twitter bio of Anti Rumor Authority says that it is a network “to address rumours and contain them so that they do not constitute harm to society.”<\/p>\n

Therefore, a video of rotten products being thrown in Saudi Arabia was shared as protests demanding an economic boycott of France.<\/span> It was falsely claimed that it depicted Kuwaitis throwing away products from France.
