In an operation carried out by the municipal police teams targeting food production companies in Hatay, the sight of darkened pots in the kitchen was nauseating, while bags of rotting potatoes, with flies buzzing around them, were waiting to be used. The municipal police, witnessing this scene, exclaimed, "The meals made from these potatoes are coming to our table."

The Dörtyol Municipality's police teams continue their efforts uninterruptedly towards businesses operating throughout the district to protect public health. Inspections were carried out on food companies operating in the district. 

THE STATE OF THE POTATOES MADE PEOPLE SICK

During the inspections conducted by the police teams, a pot on the stove that was blackened and unusable drew attention. In response to the reaction of the police chief Ali Avan, the business owner stated that they were not using the pot. During the inspections, the presence of bags full of potatoes in the kitchen that were rotten and the flies buzzing around them also caused a reaction from the police teams. A report was filed against the company in question, and necessary legal action was taken.

"SERVED AS FUNERAL MEAL"

In the face of the scene he encountered, police chief Ali Avan said, "The meals made from these potatoes come to our table. They are served as mevlit meals, funeral meals, and we eat these meals. The rot of the potatoes and the state of the tomatoes are evident; if one falls, it would die, and the insects would eat it."
