Putin was reminded of the statement of the head of the administration of the Bobrovsky municipal district of the Voronezh region, Anatoly Balbekov, who spoke about the production of 60 varieties of cheese, including those with blue mold. Hearing this, Putin smiled.

"I remembered that yesterday a joke was told: 'Do you have blue cheese? No, there are sausages," Putin said, which caused laughter in the hall. The meeting is broadcast live by RT.

Also during the meeting, the head of state said that food security is fully ensured in Russia.
