Pubtime:2019-04-08Author:Source: Hits:

Russian Federal News Agency reported on the 18th that Rospotrebnadzor, the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare, recently plans to strengthen the control of food labels containing allergen information, such as milk, gluten and the nuts.

Anna Popova, head of Rospotrebnadzor’s department, pointed out: The ingredients on food labels must truly reflect the use of raw materials and additives used in food. However, the accuracy of information about allergens contained in labels is worrying in many cases, which brings potential risks to the population in atopy.

The head also pointed out that the price is very high whether the Manufacturer intentionally mislabeled the allergen information or unintentionally, because it will seriously affect the Buyer’s health and even endanger his life.
