The phrases 'sourdough' and 'black starter' will be removed from yoghurt and ayran labels by 31 December 2026. The new regulation covers descriptions emphasising traditional production methods.

The Istanbul Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry recalled that the phrases cannot be used on labels of products made under the Turkish Food Codex Fermented Dairy Products Communiqué. Non-compliant products will not be allowed on the market.
