“If it is revealed, and this is in fact a fake, and it is proved - this is a crime. This is the main product of the mass, if it is deceptive and poor quality - this is a crime against a person and his health. There must be harsh punishments, ”the expert said.

According to him, it is worth conducting a qualitative analysis and visiting enterprises where water is bottled.

“If there is a suspicion that this is simply poor quality and cannot be released into production, and if it is also falsified, then it is necessary to close enterprises, impose fines, write about this to the appropriate prosecutor’s office,” Rakhmanin concluded.

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.
