Cheese scandal at the same supermarket chain... They were feeding poison to citizens!

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has published its updated list of foods subject to imitation and adulteration.

The cheese brands included in this list have caused concern among consumers. According to the Ministry's statement, the substance 'natamycin', which poses a risk to health, was found in some products.

The "Tarabya" brand full-fat fresh kashar cheese sold at A-101 was included in the list.

One of the brands offered for sale at the same market that drew attention was the "Ahir" brand full-fat dill processed cheese.

WHAT IS NATAMYCIN?

Natamycin is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections. However, it is stated that its presence in excessive amounts in food products can threaten health.

A shocking violation had previously been detected in the same supermarket chain regarding full-fat milk produced under contract by the Danone company and sold in A101 stores under the Birşah brand.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry determined that water had been added to the milk with batch number 176L. Following this situation, which threatened consumer health, the products were quickly recalled.

RECALL DECISION MADE

Ministry officials noticed during their routine food inspections that the fat and dry matter ratios in the 176L batch number Birşah milk did not comply with regulations.

As a result of a more detailed examination, it was revealed that water had been mixed into the milk.

Upon the determination of the violation, the Ministry decided to have the relevant products recalled from market shelves and called on consumers to return the products they had purchased.
