75 dangerous food products have been found on the territory of Armenia
in the first half of 2007, head of the "Defense of consumer rights"
NGO Abgar Eghoyan told ArmInfo.
Like before among the dangerous products are wafer, caramel, cookies,
chocolate, halvah, chips and canned food.
The laboratory examination has revealed microbes in the "Cicorella"
chocolate cream (Saray, Turkey), "Chonik" chocolate bar (Arcor S.A.I.C,
Argentina), "Bubble Gum" chewing gum (Amos Sweets, China).
In Abgar Eghoyan’s words, such low-quality goods are sold not only
in the market, but also in shops. "Our monitoring revealed a number
of shortcomings also in the supermarkets of the city," he said.
Mr. Eghoyan also informed that the volume of sale of low-quality
Turkish goods has increased in the Armenian market. These are mainly
imported in an illegal way and withought special certification.
