On Use-By Date/Best-Before Date Practices and Inspections

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter forwarded to our Union by the Directorate General of Food and Control of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry states that the sale of products whose use-by date (STT) has passed is prohibited, whereas products whose best-before date (TETT) has passed may be marketed on condition that they meet the necessary safety requirements, that consumers are informed and that they are offered for sale on separate shelves.
The letter further states that administrative sanctions will be applied to practices contrary to the legislation during official controls.
