Union for the Protection of Consumers’ Rights

This presentation, presented by Abgar Yeghoyan from the Union for the Protection of Consumers' Rights, explores the independent food testing and monitoring carried out by consumer NGOs in the South Caucasus region (Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan). The analysis includes the types of food items tested, the results of the testing, and the current food safety situation in Armenia. Key issues discussed include expired food items, infringed terms of storage, wrong labeled food items, falsified food, food without origin confirmation certificates, and food with dangerous ingredients. The presentation also highlights the challenges faced in the areas of state regulation and administration, corruption, business monopolization and lobbying, and the lack of resources and knowledge for NGOs and mass media to carry out independent monitoring.
