“The fact that water production can be fake is yes. A huge number of small, unverified manufacturers glue labels of well-known companies - this has long been known. In context, as I understand it, this refers to bottled water. Bottles are such a thing that are easily counterfeited, ”he explained.
He also called a “thoughtful” product labeling proposal.
Earlier, the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, said that a quarter of the drinking water sold in Russia is fake, in some regions of the country this figure is 80%.
According to Chemezov, in order to change the situation in the area in question, it is necessary to proceed with product labeling as soon as possible.
