Just was investigated more than 245 thousand tons, of which more than 32 tons were produced with violations of the mandatory requirements. In particular, we are talking about the rules of marking on the packaging.

The results of the inspection the CPS has proposed to introduce mineral water in the list of products subject to marking. The Ministry said that in this way it is possible to exclude the appearance on the Russian consumer market of illegal products.

"Marking of mineral water will be a reliable way to protect against counterfeit products – especially for consumers. This is especially important in the framework of the KMV region, where the extract and bottled the famous "Essentuki", "Narzan" and other popular mineral water. Conscientious producers, in turn, reduce reputational costs", – commented on the initiative of the head of JSC "Kavminkurortresursy" Eugene Levitsky.

After the introduction of the digital marking of the legality of mineral water consumers will be able to check via the mobile app.

In addition, the deputies of the state Duma intend to prepare a bill that will toughen responsibility for a fake of mineral and drinking water.
