CHP Deputy Chairman Erhan Adem claimed that Köfteci Yusuf, whose name was involved in the pork scandal, purchased 40 tons of meat at a favorable price from the Meat and Milk Institution, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Adem also expressed his reaction to the fact that this opportunity was not offered to any other company.

In the first week of October, the list of 'Imitation or Adulterated Foods' published in Turkey kept the public busy for a long time, with the most debated business being Köfteci Yusuf, which has restaurant chains in many cities across Turkey.

PORK FOUND IN MEAT DONER

The ministry, which announced that pork was found in the meat doner sold at the company's branch in Bursa, ignited a weeks-long debate. As the focus of reactions suddenly shifted to Köfteci Yusuf, the winds turned in time, and citizens began to send support messages.

CHP'S ATTENTION-GRABBING CLAIM

The claim made by CHP Deputy Chairman Erhan Adem drew significant attention. It was alleged that the Meat and Milk Institution, which sells to chain markets to enable citizens to consume meat at more affordable prices, sold 2 trucks (approximately 40 tons) of meat to Köfteci Yusuf.

"THE SALE WAS CONDUCTED SECRETLY"

CHP member Adem also pointed out that this opportunity was not offered to any other business, stating that the practice was contrary to the principle of 'equal opportunity' and alleging that the sale was conducted secretly to avoid exposure.

"WHAT IS THIS ATTEMPT TO HIDE?"

CHP's Erhan Adem said, "What is this attempt to hide from whom? If you cannot manage the public's resources fairly, whose interests are you serving with this institution?"

CALL FOR TRANSPARENCY TO THE MEAT AND MILK INSTITUTION

Adem called for transparency from the Meat and Milk Institution, which operates under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, stating, "But the Ministry of Agriculture considers neither the producers, nor the tradesmen, nor the consumers. You are trying to revive a company you discredited yesterday. You have nothing left to give to the farmers, tradesmen, and people of this nation."
