Türkiye: food inspections
Who inspects your kitchen, how an inspection works and whether there is a public hygiene rating.
Checked
In Turkey the app follows Law 5996, the Food Hygiene Regulation and the Turkish Food Codex. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry inspects, every kitchen needs a HACCP-based system, and allergen information must be given in writing.
- Inspection body
- Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı)
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry inspects food businesses, through its provincial and district directorates (Law 5996).
After a visit the inspector writes a report and tells you what to put right and by when. Breaches of Law 5996 are fined, and the amounts are updated every year. If health is at risk, the activity can be suspended.
Hygiene rating
Turkey has no public hygiene rating, sticker or score, and nothing has to be displayed. Chef Hygiene shows no rating card for Turkey.
