Allergen Labeling requirements in Russian federation, Ukraine, Belorus
Hi,
Have you got experience in labeling requirements for food allergens on food package for Russian, Ukrainian or Belorussian market? I have been searching via internet, but I haven't found any. I found overall labelling rules http://docs.cntd.ru/...ment/1200083857 , but nothing about allergen labelling.
I'm very thankful for any comment!
Katrin
PS I can read in English and in Russian, in Ukrainian hardly :)

Hi katilaik,

Thank you, Charles!
The document you referred is very valuable source of information!
It describes that food contact materials have to be checked (not allergenic materials). There were several links to other regulations on the customs union (NB! regulations of food safety: maximum levels of residues, contaminants, microbiological criteria, but not a single word about allergens :( )
Best regards,
Katrin
For next readers and myself for quick finding :)
1) 2015 updated version of document Charles referred http://www.fsa.gov.b..._12-16-2015.pdf
2) Russian GOST Food products. Information for consumer. General requirements http://docs.cntd.ru/...ment/1200035978 clause 3.5.5. gives a list of 14 allergens as in EU Regulation 1169/2011 plus aspartame.
best regards,

Hi Katilaik!
In Russia we are using technical regulation (Технический регламент).
You need to use this one: TP TC 022/2011 Пищевая продукция в части её маркировки http://www.tsouz.ru/...aMarkirovka.pdf
Good luck!

Perhaps you read the wrong page.

January 1, 2011, information must be provided on the label if a product contains any ingredients that
