Tutuncu is reported as saying to press in the wake of the AK Gida deal more options to acquire and sell "are on the table".

The CEO said the transaction allowed Yildiz to focus on its core business of cookies, chocolates and gum. He added it would "take advantage of any opportunity we find suitable."

The company could not be reached for comment at time of press.
