Press-release

On April, 9, 2013 Federal Service on Customers Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance (Rospotrebnadzor) announced simplification of control procedures for exports of Ukrainian cheese to Russian Federation.

According to Rospotrebnadzor, from now on there is no need for control of each shipment of exported cheese. This decision was adopted based on laboratory tests of 1260 samples of Ukrainian cheese, made during 2012-13, which have confirmed the compliance of the checked products with the requirements of the Russian Federal Law dated 12 June 2008 “Technical regulations of milk and milk products”.

Rospotrebnadzor will continue control of quality of the Ukrainian cheese along with the regular approach envisaging retail outlets sampling.
