In the Belarusian city of Bobruisk, cakes containing a dangerous synthetic dye were discovered on sale.
We are talking about a local product called “Red Velvet,” reports the press service of the Mogilev Regional Inspectorate of the State Standard.
During the inspection, specialists discovered that these confectionery products did not comply with the requirements of the technical regulations of the Customs Union.
