Azerbaijan may tighten fight against counterfeit dairy products

"Falsified products are sold both in retail outlets and on the streets, and we must fight them. I can say with confidence that 50 percent of the products sold in commercial facilities are counterfeit. This figure is much higher in the street trade - 70 percent. Palm oil lies in the basis of counterfeit products. Natural milk fat is taken from fresh milk, which is sold separately at a high price, and vegetable oil is added instead; as a rule it is palm oil, and such products are put up for sale."

He added that there are a lot of facilities engaged in the production of natural milk in Azerbaijan. The production capacity of such facilities reaches 50 tons per day, he said.
