The 'list of foods subject to imitation and adulteration' published on the Ministry's official website is shared with consumers every day.
Although the use of prohibited or harmful substances to reduce costs in food products is increasing day by day, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry continues to keep the measures taken in this regard strict.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE EATING!
Well-known spice brand Arifoğlu was also included in the list published by the Ministry on December 25, 2024. The company, in whose thyme product foreign matter was detected, was placed on the ministry's list of foods subject to imitation and adulteration.
COMPANY DENIED THE INCIDENT
Although it was included in the list following the inspections and examinations carried out by the Ministry, a denial regarding the incident came from the brand.
In a statement made by the company's lawyer, it was stated that laboratory test reports of the products showed no harmful additives and that the allegations regarding the incident were not accepted.
Furthermore, the company announced that it had made the necessary applications for those who published the official documents announced by the Ministry to be penalized, referring to them with the phrase "making false accusations."
THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME
The company's name had come to the agenda with similar scandals in November 2022, and a recall decision had been issued for three of the company's products.
The company had accepted the allegations, recalled its products, apologized to consumers, and stated that the products would be destroyed.
COULD NOT WITHSTAND THE BACKLASH
Following the latest statement, users expressed their reactions in the posts made on the company's social media accounts.
The company continued its advertisements, disregarding the Ministry's list.
