Producers in Istanbul have warned consumers not to fall victim to fraudulent baklava sales ahead of the Eid al-Adha holiday. They have urged consumers to be cautious of sellers who use peas instead of pistachios or glucose instead of sugar. The holiday has seen a decrease in baklava demand due to the pandemic. Istanbul's Chamber of Craftsmen has assured that registered baklava shops are following health and safety guidelines. They have also advised against purchasing baklava at exaggerated prices.
