The on-going investigation about Nestle Türkiye Gıda Sanayi AŞ and Danone Tikveşli Gıda ve İçecek San. ve Tic. AŞ, which was conducted to determine whether article 4 of the Act no 4054 on the Protection of Competition was violated by means of exchanging competitively sensitive information, was concluded.

In the investigation, while Nestle Türkiye Gıda Sanayi AŞ has been imposed 260.183.629,08-TL administrative fines, it has been decided that since no evidence could be found showing that Danone Tikveşli Gıda ve İçecek San. ve Tic. AŞ violated the Act no 4054, it is not necessary to impose administrative fines.

In terms of Eti Gıda San. ve Tic. AŞ and Horizon Hızlı Tüketim Ürünleri Üretim Pazarlama Satış ve Ticaret AŞ, which were under investigation in the same file, the investigation was terminated with settlement in March. Within this framework, on the grounds that they violated article 4 of the Act no 4054 on the Protection of Competition by means of engaging in practices restrictive of competition aiming to make the market where they were operating transparent, according to the Competition Board decision dated 02.03.2023 and numbered 23-12/181-57, Eti Gıda San. ve Tic. AŞ was imposed 36.096.652,89-TL administrative fines and according to the Competition Board decision dated 30.03.2023 and numbered 23-16/280-96,  Horizon Hızlı Tüketim Ürünleri Üretim Pazarlama Satış ve Ticaret AŞ was imposed 55.140.344,30-TL administrative fines.
