He went to Köfteci Yusuf, where everyone who goes these days regrets it, and had a meal.

Turkey has been discussing the pork meat scandal at Köfteci Yusuf for days. After it was determined that both the meatballs and döner of the restaurant chain, which has dozens of branches, contained pork, İyi Party's Metin Ergun went to the restaurant at the center of the reactions and had a meal.

'WE WERE AT KÖFTECİ YUSUF WITH OUR FRIENDS' POST

İyi Party Muğla Member of Parliament Metin Ergun, who visited Köfteci Yusuf, which has seen almost no customers at any of its branches, shared those moments on his social media account.

Regarding the issue, Köfteci Yusuf's owner Yusuf Akkaş also made a new statement. Akkaş suggested that if they were a foreign company, they wouldn't be able to be touched so easily, saying, "Even if I have political connections, I think they can't touch me this easily. Would having a mafia connection reflect positively on us? This company has come to places without getting involved in these matters. How does Yusuf sell cheaply? Friends, we are not selling cheaply. Others are selling expensively. Is it logical to add something to a product that we will not gain any financial benefit from? There is no such thing, absolutely not," he said.

HE HAD BLAMED THE MINISTRY

The famous meatball chain, which was included in the list of concerns shared by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and found to have pork in its products, denied the allegations and shifted the blame to the ministry. The brand stated that inspections were ongoing and that they were trying to clarify the situation, claiming that many technical errors were made during the sampling process.

INCLUDED IN THE LIST

Following the company's accusations, the ministry included the firm in the 'Foods That Will Endanger Health' list after a report determined that pork was used in the samples taken from Köfteci Yusuf.
