Dairy products with milk fat substitutes and/or other additives will  be placed on separate store shelves in Armenia: Project

ArmInfo.Dairy products with milk fat substitutes and / or other additives in retail outlets will have to be displayed on separate shelves. The draft on making  additions to the law "On Trade and Services" and the Code of  Administrative Offenses is being discussed on January 19 in the  parliament in the first reading.

According to Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan, separate shelves  will be provided in the trading floors to distinguish dairy products  from natural raw materials from those containing vegetable oil and  other milk fat substitutes and other additives. These products will  be legibly marked "contains milk fat substitute". The goal of the  project is to protect the interests of consumers so that buyers can  immediately see the composition of the dairy product they buy.
