This was stated by the chairman of the board of the public organization "All-Ukrainian Association for Consumer Rights Protection" Consumer Confidence "Maxim Gonchar, the correspondent of" URA-Inform ".
It should be noted that the majority of the country's producers make falsified products from Ukrainian products. So, the greatest amount of counterfeit was found in dairy products.
According to Honchar, in 2018 the production of butter and cheese was tested several times. In the first case, 40% of Ukrainian counterfeit was found in cheese, in the second - 42%. At the same time, as a counterfeit butter was more than 50%. Also last month, the association selected about 40 types of butter, the results of which are still unknown.
"I call on the public to fight against producers who manufacture falsifications. At present, our state has seen "ridiculous" penalties, which can not affect this situation in any way, "the expert said..
Also, a representative of the public organization said that illegal products are not only sold on shop windows, but also delivered to school institutions and kindergartens.
"There were cases when dairy products, namely condensed milk, were shipped abroad, after which immediately an examination was made for examination and research. After a while it became known that 100% of non-dairy fats were found in the product, "added Gonchar.
Unfortunately, now there are unscrupulous manufacturers who from year to year produce low-quality and falsified products. If the government does not take measures, then the All-Ukrainian Association for Consumer Protection "Consumer Confidence" will go to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to combat substandard substitutes.
As previously reported in URA-Inform, the public organization "All-Ukrainian Association for Consumer Rights Protection" Consumer Confidence "recorded the facts of the sale of Ukrainian products in Donetsk.
