In a market in the Sultanbeyli district of Istanbul, a cat was seen entering the meat section and trying to eat the products, while in another market in Kartal, it was found that expired eggs were being sold. The lack of hygiene and inspections drew reactions from the public.
The hygiene and inspection deficiencies experienced in two different chain markets in the Sultanbeyli and Kartal districts of Istanbul have sparked public outrage. Images and reports have once again brought the inspection shortcomings in the markets to the forefront.
CAT IN THE MEAT SECTION
In footage recorded in the meat section of a chain market in Sultanbeyli, a cat was seen trying to eat packaged products on the counter. The incident, which clearly violated hygiene rules, caused a massive backlash when shared on social media.
SELLING EXPIRED EGGS
In another chain market located in Kartal, the situation was different but similarly concerning. It was found that the eggs on the shelves were past their expiration date, yet the products were still on sale. This situation, noticed thanks to the warnings of vigilant citizens, raised questions about the market management.
CALL FOR INSPECTION
The incidents have once again highlighted the lack of inspections regarding hygiene and product safety in chain markets. Citizens have called on the authorities to take action, stating that stricter and more effective controls should be implemented, especially concerning food products.
