Over 1.5 thousand stores were covered during the monitoring, and 14 samples of imported products (snacks) of dubious origin were purchased for laboratory tests in terms of compliance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union.According to the results of the study, this product contains flavor enhancers (food additives): monosodium glutamate (E621), sodium guanylate (E627), sodium inosinate (E631), the use of which in production is not established by the requirements of the Technical Regulations.
