Irina Makeeva: introduction of digital milk labeling is not timely today
She reminded that the experiment with the introduction of labeling for dairy products would last until December 31. Now, product labeling is free - as part of a pilot experiment, but starting from 2021, you will have to pay for receiving a QR code and for equipment, said the Doctor of Technical Sciences.
Irina Makeeva noted several important innovations that will affect the industry in 2021. Since January 20, milk with a shelf life of more than 28 days and ice cream will be labeled. Since June 1, 2021 - milk with a shelf life of up to 28 days. Since October 1, 2021 – all dairy products. The expert also reminded that consumer packaging weighing less than 30 grams is not labeled, and manufacturers of baby food will not have to pay for labeling their products.
The expert noted that product advice should be provided by professionals, so it is advisable for companies to register with the CATD right now and decide on the choice of an integrator.
- Now is a very difficult economic period for the whole country, and the introduction of digital labeling is certainly a big economic burden on enterprises, which will then affect the cost of dairy products, – said Irina Makeeva.
