The Çorum Municipality imposed a closure penalty on a chain supermarket branch selling expired products. The inspection teams sealed the market's doors and hung a large informational banner stating, "This market has been closed for 1 day by the Çorum Municipality for selling expired products."

THEY SOLD EXPIRED PRODUCTS

The teams of the Çorum Municipality's Zoning Department have started to implement stricter penalties during market inspections. Following the imposition of fines due to the presence of expired products on the shelves and the price difference between the cash register and the shelves, closure penalties are now being enforced. In this context, it was determined that the same situation continued during the second inspection of the market located on Mehmet Akif Ersoy Street in the Bahçelievler neighborhood, which had previously been penalized for selling expired products. As a result of legal actions taken due to the presence of expired products in the same market for the second time, the business was banned from operating for 1 day by the decision of the Municipal Council.

THE ZONING DEPARTMENT INFORMED THE PUBLIC BY HANGING A BANNER AT THE MARKET

After the closure decision was communicated, the teams of the Zoning Department went to the market branch and sealed the door. Additionally, a notification banner stating, "This market has been closed for 1 day by the Çorum Municipality for selling expired products" was hung.

Çorum Municipality Zoning Director İrfan Göyhan stated that they will never allow the health of the public to be compromised, saying, "Our inspections of markets continue uninterrupted in accordance with the instructions of our Mayor Dr. Halil İbrahim Aşgın. When price differences between the cash register and shelves or expired products are detected, we first impose fines. If the same market continues to violate, we impose closure penalties by the decision of the Municipal Council. Today, we closed the market branch for 1 day due to the same finding. We will never allow the health of our citizens to be compromised or consumers to be harmed. Everyone can rest assured that our inspections will continue resolutely. We ask our citizens to always check the expiration dates of products when shopping at markets. If they detect expired products, we want them to report it to the Alo 153 Zoning Hotline or our Çorum Municipality WhatsApp complaint line at 0501 100 19 19."
