The “Informed and Protected Consumer” NGO has submitted the entire information on the violations revealed in the dairy market to the State Service of Food Security.

“We have examined the products of the companies which provide over 80 percent of the dairy market.  The reason of the studies was not only the alerts regarding the dairy production, but also the fact that New Year is coming and the production volumes will increase. And the NGO’s examination is based on the sanitary indicators,” Head of the Informed and Protected Consumer” NGO Babken Pipoyan told Panorama.am.

The organization has not afforded to reveal the amount of the antibiotics available in the dairy products due to the laboratory screening. To note such a testing has been ordered by the SFSS. After the examination the state body alerted on the gross violations, however no other statements have been issued afterwards.

After submitting information on the violations to the SFSS the head of the NGO has not received any response regarding the measures which are allegedly taken. 

“We have requested them to provide us information on the implemented activities. We have not received any writ as of now. We have submitting information on all the violations that have been revealed and have offered them to impose control on the dairy production process. Eventually we all aim at protecting out consumers,” the head of the NGO noted.

In the words of Pipoyan conducting examination of sanitary conditions, as well as the amount of antibiotics is important in those days.

“The service has financial resources to conduct such an expertise. The dairy production is mainly consumed on 28-30 December. Afterwards the risk will decrease. It is important that concrete measures are taken till 27 December,” he added.

Panorama.am will also present the clarifications of the SFSS on the issue.
