We will remind, the Ministry of Finance has proposed to introduce in the territory of the EEU concept of milk substitutes for products previously not have legal definitions.

– I believe that the initiative of the Ministry of Finance is a good thing, but it is not enough. All products made with milk fat substitution, it is necessary to radically change the terminology. Dairy terms shall be referred to only dairy products and dairy compound. The rest of the products should be presented under other names, without derived from dairy terms, commented Labinov.

Note that currently, the CU technical regulations "On safety of milk and dairy products" and "On safety of food products" does not specify the requirements for products containing MFR of more than 50% of the fatty phase. All these circumstances, in the opinion of the Ministry of Finance asking for urgent rapid response.

Among the concepts proposed by the draft Directive ECE – substitute dairy product heat-treated fermented, cheese substitute, sour cream substitute, substitute condensed milk.
