Some citizens who believe that Köfteci Yusuf has been falsely accused of using pork instead of beef in the reports published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry took action. A group that ordered various products from the famous meatball chain distributed the menus they purchased to passersby on the street, saying, "We are eating it. Don't slander the man."
The Meatball Master, accused of feeding citizens pork by being listed in the regularly published list of Imitated and Adulterated Foods by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, is going through tough times.
THEY ACCUSED THE MINISTRY
In a statement regarding the 'pork meat' scandal, Köfteci Yusuf stated that many technical errors were made during the sampling process and that they never used pork in their products. It was also expressed that the negative analysis results were reported late in a manner contrary to normal procedures, and that they could not provide the necessary traceability.
SOME OF ITS BRANCHES IN ISTANBUL ARE CATCHING FLIES
The images taken yesterday at the Avcılar and Kadıköy branches of the famous meatball chain, which is trying to blame the ministry, revealed a decrease in the number of customers. In a video taken at the Köfteci Yusuf branch in Avcılar, the emptiness of the place was evident. At the Köfteci Yusuf branch in Kadıköy, it was observed that even during the after-work hours, the upper floor was closed for service, and more than half of the tables in the lower floor, which had a limited number of tables, were empty.
"WE EAT, DON'T SLANDER THE MAN"
After the pork meat allegations, a group of citizens came to support Köfteci Yusuf, who has started to catch flies in some of its branches. Some citizens, who believe that the famous meatball maker has been slandered, distributed the menus they ordered to passersby by circulating them in the back of their vehicles. The words of the group, who also shared the footage, "We eat. Don't slander the man," drew attention.
