The Ministry of agriculture is working on changes in regulation of products with milk fat substitutes
"It should be noted that the Ministry of agriculture of Russia together with industry unions (associations) is developing proposals to change the technical regulations of the Eurasian economic Union in respect of products in which milk fat is replaced by vegetable fat", — said the official representative of the Ministry of agriculture.
He pointed out that consultations are being held with experts of the Russian party and the EAEU member States, after which the Ministry of agriculture of Russia will form proposals and send them to the Eurasian Economic Commission in the prescribed manner.
On December 11 the newspaper "Izvestia" wrote that in Russia they offer to rename milk-containing products with vegetable fats. So, as the legislation prohibits to call them sour cream, yogurt or milk, it is offered to write on the labels of such goods "cream", "pasta", "sauce", "cocktail" or "drink" — depending on the consistency.
As added in the Ministry of agriculture, the Ministry has not yet received changes in the name of food products in which milk fats are replaced by vegetable fats.
