One of the reasons is the enrichment of nutrients is not included in the list of mandatory requirements for product quality. This was stated by the head of Roskoshestvo Maxim Protasov on the meeting of the interdepartmental working group on implementing the strategy of improving the quality of food products in Russia up to 2030.

"We see violations of children's labelling of powdered infant formula in relation to the content of nutrients," said he. And he explained: most of the investigated compounds revealed inconsistencies in the marking of the level of sodium and potassium.

A similar situation exists on the market of drinking water. While researching, it was discovered that the water of each of the sixth brand (nine of 58) did not meet the properties that were declared on the label. For example, it "limped" the contents of calcium, magnesium, boron or "TDS".

While high requirements as recorded in standards Roskoshestvo. So, they apply to the content of vitamins and minerals in juice products, baby food. The quality standards for dairy products prescribed high requirements for the content of beneficial lactic acid bacteria in yogurt and cheese, and iodized salt - iodine.

In this regard, the legislation will be amended, fixing the defining quality of a healthy diet and increasing business responsibility for the production of counterfeit.

As noted by Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Gordeyev, the government's objective is to provide people with a healthy diet. He gave the example of the Voronezh region, where nine years ago introduced a standard for the protein content of school milk. As a result, after five years pupils have sharply reduced the number of dental problems.
