ArmInfo. The State Food Safety Service of Armenia and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Armenia is developing a legislative package on regulating and restricting the import of genetically modified products to the republic. This was reported at the seminar in Tsakhkadzor by the head of the State Security Service Ishkhan Karapetyan.
In addition, he said, the Service intends to implement a system of marking GMO products, which will be sold on separate shelves. "The consumer should know that he is buying and making a realized choice," Karapetyan said.
At the same time, he said that until now only 100 kg of GMO products were imported to Armenia, which is less than 1% of imported goods. "I do not think that this is a dangerous indicator, although I myself also oppose the sale of GMO products in the Armenian market," Karapetyan said.
