Food products and feeds

draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Amendment to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of March 9, 2022 No. 234"; (1 page(s), in Ukrainian)

Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of March 9, 2022 No. 234 "On measures to ensure the uninterrupted supply of imported food products and feeds under the martial law regime" establishes that during martial law in Ukraine market operators may sell food products, information of which is provided in a language other than the official one, on the customs territory of Ukraine. Thus the consignments of such food products should be accompanied by obligatory information on the foodstuffs provided in the state language. Simplification of requirements for mandatory labeling of imported food products in the state language was introduced in order to ensure uninterrupted food supply to the population during the martial law.

Currently, national food enterprises are able to meet the needs of Ukrainian consumers in safe and quality food products in compliance with the requirements of food legislation.

Therefore, the draft Resolution is intended to exclude the provision on the temporary possibility for the period of martial law to sell food products, information of which is provided in a language other than the state language, on the customs territory of Ukraine.

The draft Resolution also stipulates that food products, information of which is provided in a language other than the state, imported into the territory of Ukraine before the entry into force of this Resolution, may be in circulation until their expiration date.
