Belarus Bans Sale of Olives, Ice Cream, and Tomato Paste: Which Producers Are Banned
The register of dangerous products banned from import and sale in Belarus has been expanded with ice cream and tomato paste from Russia and Spanish olives.
The press service of the State Committee for Standardization reported this on Telegram.
What products are prohibited for sale
Firstly, the ban included Helcom olives stuffed with paprika paste, produced in Spain.
The reason for the ban was the presence of sulfur dioxide in the product, which is unacceptable in olive production.
Secondly, Russian tomato paste “Moravka” was added to the register.
Sulfur dioxide was also found in it, and the mass fraction of soluble dry substances was 24%, while the standard is at least 25%.
Thirdly, the register included strawberry ice cream produced by the Russian company Dream Factory.
The product replaces 88.2% of milk fat, while the standard is no more than 50%.
