Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev said that he signed a decree that requires to place dairy products in each trading hall separately and to accompany them with information about the absence of vegetable fats.

"We supplement the rules for the sale of certain goods, according to this resolution, dairy products in each trading hall should be placed separately and accompanied by an indication that these are products without a substitute for milk fat", said Medvedev at a meeting on the preparation of the State program of the Russian Federation on integrated development of rural areas.

The new rules on trade in dairy products, he added, will come into force since the middle of 2019 to ensure that retailers can prepare for them.

"In order for retailers to have the appropriate opportunities and time to prepare, the new rules will come into force since the middle of the year, that is, since July 1 this year", the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister stressed that the new rules are necessary because buyers have the right to know what they are buying. "Recently, vegetable fats have been actively used in our industry, this technology allows to increase the shelf life of dairy products, reduce the cost, that is, there are some advantages, but not always these details are stated on the packaging, and not everyone wants to buy these products, to be honest", the Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Medvedev stressed that innovations will be useful for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in milk production. "It is often difficult for them to establish sales of these products because of competition with large manufacturers, especially if they supply natural milk and dairy products, which, as a rule, have a short sales period", he said.

The new rules for laying out milk and dairy products in the store, said the head of government, will allow farmers who are engaged in the production of these products without a substitute for milk fat, to attract the attention of consumers.
