Shocking images emerged during an inspection at a bakery in the Dörtyol district of Hatay. In the establishment where the weights of the breads were found to be low, insects and spiders were seen roaming around. The municipal police chief stated, "You should close this place and turn it into a junkyard. I'm afraid a snake will come out, not to mention the rats," explaining the severity of the situation.
In the Dörtyol district of Hatay, inspections targeting businesses that threaten public health are being carried out continuously under the instructions of Dörtyol Mayor Dr. Bahadır Amaç. Recently, four bakery businesses were inspected by the municipal police teams.
LOW WEIGHT, SPOILED PRODUCTS, INSECTS RUNNING AROUND
Serious violations regarding hygiene and weight were detected in one of the inspected bakeries. It was revealed that the pita breads produced in one bakery were made with insufficient weight. Additionally, spoiled products, bone fragments, insects, and spiders were found in the production facility.
"I'VE PASSED THE RAT, I'M AFRAID A SNAKE WILL COME OUT"
Municipal police director Ali Avan said the following in response to the scene he encountered:
"You are stealing from the citizen's labor and money. This is the first time I see a bakery with such a deficiency in bread weight. You think this is profit, but I will take all your profit away from you, don't worry. Little by little, I will cut 20,000, 50,000 from you. You should close this place and turn it into a junkyard; that would be more sensible. I've passed the rat, I'm afraid a snake will come out. There are beds and blankets in the bakery. We cannot allow the environment to be in such a bad condition."
PENALTY ACTION TAKEN
During the inspections conducted in the bakeries, hygiene conditions, license status, and weights were thoroughly checked. After the inspections, reports were prepared for businesses that acted contrary to the regulations, and necessary penalty actions were initiated. Authorities stated that if violations are repeated, the licenses of the bakeries will be revoked.
Dörtyol Municipality officials emphasized that public health is among their top priorities and stated that inspections in the district will continue with determination.
