Ice cream with distorted information on the label was found on sale in the Gomel region

April 30, Gomel. The Gomel Regional Inspectorate of the Gosstandart during an inspection found ice cream with distorted information on the label, BelTA learned from the regional inspection.

Experts noted that the food market is rich and diverse, but there are cases when unsafe imported products enter the domestic market. "If we talk about dairy products, cases with distorted information on the label have been repeatedly identified in imported products. Some manufacturers add other ingredients to save raw MILK and reduce the cost. For example, vegetable fats. The Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union "On the safety of milk and dairy products "The use of such components is allowed. However, the milk fat substitute should be no more than 50%.

So, there are questions about the composition of some types of ice cream. We are talking about ice cream with a substitute for milk fat "Bodraya Korov": two-layer marble with vanilla flavor and chocolate with cherry jam "Cherry in Chocolate", with kiwi jam, with blackcurrant filling in a wafer cup "Vertushka". In the labeling, the manufacturer indicated the content of milk fat replacer (vegetable raw materials) 50% of the total fat. However, in fact, vegetable fat in the delicacy turned out to be from 94.5% to 97.7%. "In fact, the products consist of vegetable fat and they cannot even be called milk-containing," the experts noted.

The Regional Inspectorate of the State Standard takes measures to prevent the circulation of such products on the market.
