The new regulation removes intermediate fat classes for drinking milk, reducing them to four categories, and bans sugar derivatives in flavored products. The meat regulation divides doner into three types, lowers the fat ratio in chicken doner to 15 percent, and prevents the use of seasonings in sucuk and pastrami. Existing businesses are given until March 2027 to comply.
