Labeling of dairy products will not solve the problem of falsification – the Rosselkhoznadzor
"For our part, we said that the goals set by this experiment and the labeling as such in general - is to reduce the proportion of falsified products. According to the Rosselkhoznadzor, the new type of labeling will not solve the problem of falsification, but will only complicate the life of dairy processing plants, because the labeling itself is extremely expensive, it is several times more expensive than the system "Mercury". Therefore, the labeling will simply promote the monopolization of the market by those who can afford to install the appropriate equipment", said Yulia Melano.
The DairyNews reminds: the Ministry of industry and trade of the Russian Federation proposes to conduct an experiment in Russia on the labeling of certain types of dairy products, a pilot project can be held from September 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019.
