The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade plans to introduce a labeling system for ready-made or canned meat products

This experiment applies to the sphere of trade, is voluntary and will not entail additional costs for participants.

We remind you that mandatory labeling has already been introduced for a number of food products: dairy products, packaged drinking water, beer , juices, lemonades.

From December 1, a mandatory requirement for labeling soft drinks in glass and polymer consumer packaging comes into force.

Externally, the marking looks like a Data Matrix code applied to consumer packaging in the form of a black and white square, divided into many smaller squares.

The national digital labeling system began operating in RUSSIA in 2019, and is aimed at combating the illegal trafficking of both food and industrial products. In order to improve the digital labeling system in the country, experiments are constantly being developed and implemented for individual product groups.

Labeling of goods is also useful for consumers, as it allows them to immediately obtain information about the legal presence of a product in sale, and can also be a tool of public control.
