The Ministry continues its hunt for 'adulterated or misbranded foods'

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry continues its food testing. The Ministry continues to publish its list of foods that are imitated, adulterated, or pose a risk to health.

Recent tests have revealed the use of dye instead of vegetable oil and olive oil, the use of dyes in sumac that should not be used in food, the reduction of fat content in raw milk, the sale of soy instead of meatballs, imitation or adulteration in honey, cow's milk in clarified butter, and the sale of starch instead of yogurt.

New items are added every day to the list of products that attract everyone's attention, pose a health risk, and are subject to imitation or adulteration.

To ensure citizens have access to healthy food, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry continues to expose non-compliant products following its inspections.

With the latest update, many products have been included in the list and their manufacturers have been disclosed.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry tests samples taken from products in its laboratories following inspections and identifies the substances contained within the products.

Fraud in products has reached extreme levels. Imitation and adulteration are frequently encountered in products such as meat, olive oil, honey, lahmacun, and kebabs. It is important for health to stay away from foods suspected due to their price, taste, color, or smell. Suspected products should be reported by calling ALO 174.
