Roskachestvo will check the ingredients of dumplings in Russian stores.

"Roskachestvo will present the results of a pelmeni study this fall . The products will be tested for nearly 600 quality and safety indicators. <…> Based on the new study, Roskachestvo will reveal which brands of products were found to contain soy protein and traces of rapeseed, which products' ingredient information does not match the labeling, and which pelmeni were found to contain salmonella and listeria. The study will also reveal which products lack filling and which pelmeni fall apart during cooking," the press service reported.

They added that beef pelmeni are the most popular in Russia.

"According to Roskachestvo's Center for the Study of Consumer Behavior, the most consumers (51%) prefer beef pelmeni, while slightly fewer (41%) prefer pork pelmeni. Almost 70% of Russians buy frozen pelmeni, and only 24% prepare both the dough and filling themselves. The vast majority of consumers have encountered poor-quality dumplings in one way or another: the product was tasteless, the filling was too thin, the dough was too thick, the frozen dumplings had cracks on the surface, and they either stuck together or fell apart when cooked," the press service noted.
