    The three quoted and linked articles directly state The Sun is the source of this information. Each relevant statement is in the quoted text I included in the comment, which can be verified at each link. The Vice article not only states The Sun is the source, it goes on to criticize them for being a rag, as quoted.

    Radio Free Asia is the source of the bit about other foods being banned, not hot dogs. I have no issues there.

      Let me be clear, there’s nothing in the NZ Herald reporting indicating they are using the Sun as a source.

      They DO cite RFA, but they do not cite the Sun.

      As the NZ Herald is a trusted source, the post is allowed to stand.

      I’m not taking down a story because “well Vice says…” Vice isn’t at play here.
