ArmInfo. Rospotrebnadzor has withdrawn more than 118 thousand packages of dietary supplements from Armenia from circulation.
According to the service, during the monitoring of the Unified Register of Certificates of State Registration of Products, 48 biologically active supplements (BAS) were identified that did not meet the mandatory requirements of the Customs Union. "These supplements are registered by authorized bodies of Armenia and create risks of unsafe products appearing on the market," Rospotrebnadzor reported.
According to the press service of Rospotrebnadzor, information on this issue has been sent to the Eurasian Economic Commission to notify the Ministry of Economy of Armenia, verify the legality of the issued product registration certificates, and take the necessary measures.
In this regard, Rospotrebnadzor has created a working group, which includes leading manufacturers of dietary supplements. The working group is discussing issues of state registration of dietary supplements and organizing measures to prevent the circulation of supplements containing prohibited substances.
"Conscientious manufacturers of dietary supplements are currently organizing events to remove supplements containing simethicone and melatonin from the Russian market," the report says. In addition, Rospotrebnadzor, together with Operator-CRPT LLC, is working to prevent the circulation of dietary supplements with prohibited substances through the state information system for monitoring the circulation of goods (GIS MT).
