A citizen expressed their reaction by stating that there was a high amount of dust in the tea brand they purchased from the market, saying, "There are 200 grams of dust in 1 kilogram of tea; they are making us drink mud." After the video quickly spread, consumers pointed out the lack of inspections. Following the incident, calls were made to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Ministry of Trade to investigate the product.

A citizen who went to the market for shopping and bought tea from a famous brand rebelled against the result after passing the tea through a strainer. In the video he recorded, the citizen stated, "I bought a kilo of tea, 200 grams turned out to be dust," and added, "This dust is not tea at all. They are making us drink mud."

REACTIONS ARE MOUNTING

The video, which was shared thousands of times in a short period, created a wide resonance on social media. Users reacted to the quality of the tea and the lack of inspections.

Some of the comments were as follows:

  • We don't know what they are feeding us anymore.
  • The things other than the dust are not tea leaves, but branches.
  • We came here from the tradesmen who are struggling to avoid injustice.
  • The best crops always go abroad.
  • They sell the best of the goods to foreigners at the lowest prices.

CALL FOR FOOD INSPECTIONS

The citizens' shares also brought about new discussions on increasing quality inspections for food products. Experts reminded consumers that they can file complaints with the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in such situations.
