Experts have investigated: only nine brands of dumplings meet modern quality standards.

The following manufacturers were inspected: Dymov, Myasnitsky Ryad, Miratorg, Papa Mozhet, Ermoolino, Atyashevo, VkusVill, Tsezaryonok, and Rublevsky. All these companies ensured the absence of unwanted additives and adhered to sanitary standards. Laboratory tests confirmed that their products were free of dangerous microorganisms such as E. coli and Salmonella, indicating compliance with technological processes and storage conditions. It was also established that the levels of meat ingredients corresponded to those stated on the packaging.

Although the study did not cover all brands of pelmeni, the results provide insight into the current quality of frozen semi-finished products. Experts advise consumers to carefully examine product ingredients and pay attention to the reputation of manufacturers. If any abnormalities are detected, such as foreign particles, color changes, or odor changes, they should avoid consuming such products. According to Irina Sakharova, Associate Professor of the Industrial Biotechnology Department at Moscow State University of Food Processing, "high-quality pelmeni should contain sufficient meat and be produced in compliance with all sanitary standards to eliminate health risks." This summer, it is especially important to pay attention to the frozen food choices to ensure the health of your family.
