The cuts were made under camera recording and under the supervision of a notary public. The director of the foundation gave a power of attorney to the person who made the slaughter for each segment. The slaughtering was carried out in the company of the imam affiliated to the Diyanet, under the control of the veterinarian of the district agriculture directorate, and by reading the names of each donor.

The company, which has EIA Positive Certificate, Environmental Permit, Work License, Business Approval Certificate, Halal Slaughter Certificate, ISO 26001 Quality Management System Certificate, made the cuts without harming the environment. Blood, garbage, manure, etc. from the cuttings. wastes were sent to licensed biogas and recycling facilities. After the skins of the slaughtered animals were sold by the company, the cost was donated to the Istanbul Foundation.

CAN CAN BE PRODUCED ACCORDING TO THE FOOD CODEX

After the slaughtering process was completed, the meat, which was taken to rest for three days, was then processed and made ready for canning. Compliance with the food codex was prepared by obtaining a certificate of conformity from the university. The cans that did not contain any additives were subjected to a 21-day waiting period and were brought together with those in need who received help from IMM after the laboratory test.
