FINE TO BE IMPOSED ON SHOPS WITHOUT TAGS
Support A1+!Starting from November 15 shops without labels on bread product will be fined up to 50000-300.000 drams.
“All shops selling bread must bear tags with the product's net weight otherwise the economic entity, i.e. the shop owner, will be fined. If the shop reports cases of underweight or law-quality, we shall fine the shop superintendent,” announced Grisha Baghinyan, Head of the Department of Foodstuff under the RoA Ministry of Agriculture.
The decision was made on the basis of data submitted by the Department’s check-up committee. The committee had been to 1098 shops.
The check-ups detected some drawbacks in the production and realisation of the product. A deadline has been set for economic entities to rectify the mistakes, otherwise they will be fined, said Grisha Baghinyan.
