The Cabinet of Ministers has canceled the legislative norm introduced on March 9, which allows importers of food products to import these products into the country, even if the information on the product packaging is not in Ukrainian.
Thus, food market operators can now only import products with a label in the state language, Taras Melnichuk, a representative of the Cabinet of Ministers in the Verkhovna Rada, said in a Telegram channel.
The government made the corresponding change to Decree No. 234 of March 9, 2022 at a meeting on Friday.
“It is excluded … the rule on the temporary possibility for the period of martial law of the sale of food products in the customs territory of Ukraine, information about which is set out in a language other than the state language. It has been established that such food products imported into the territory of Ukraine from March 9 to December 1 can to be in circulation on the customs territory of Ukraine until the expiration of the minimum shelf life or the deadline for consumption (the “use by” date),” Melnychuk said in the message.
Thus, the amended regulation retains the possibility for importers of animal feed to import these products labeled in a language other than the state language.
In addition, the legislative norm remains in force that the labeling of food and feed imported to Ukraine as humanitarian aid can be submitted in a language other than the state language.
The regulation also allows the use of leftover packaging or containers for food and feed left after the closure of enterprises that stopped working as a result of hostilities. In the future, such containers can be used for packaging similar products manufactured at other enterprises.
