After the release of GMO in bread additives produced in Adana, Minister of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Faruk Celik made a statement on the subject.
Food, Agriculture and Livestock Minister Faruk Celik, 2016 and 2017 12 thousand 286 GMO inspections were done, stating that “controls contain 112 products containing soybean GMO. A criminal complaint was filed with the public prosecutor's office. After the news that came up today, samples were taken both from the additive company and from the companies producing bread and bakery products. ”
Especially soy-containing additives are always a risk for GMOs. Even if there is no GMO in the raw material of the product, the use of additives such as soy and soy flour to give properties such as consistency and brightness can cause GMO to occur in the product.
It will be appropriate for all bread producers to carry out GMO analyzes on their own products and additives in certain periods in order to guarantee themselves. Likewise, it is recommended that all bread supply companies request this analysis from their supplier for food safety.
