Consumer Protection Authority: not all checked lactose-free products are lactose-free

Most of the products sold as lactose-free products, tested by the National Consumer Protection Authority (NFH) met the requirements, but in two cases almost double the amount of lactose was measured relative to the limit. The producers were fined by the authority.

According to the notice of the National Consumer Protection Authority (NFH) sent to MTI on Tuesday, the examination of 20 products sold as lactose-free products were completed at the Food and Chemical Laboratory. Among the tested products there were milk, cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, whipping cream, cheese, chocolate drinks and cappuccino powder and butter biscuits as well. (MTI)
