Russia Notifies WTO of Draft Changes to EAEU Food Labeling Requirements

Russia recently notified the World Trade Organization of draft amendments to certain food labeling regulations in the Eurasian Economic Union, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service said in a May 12 report. The measure would “harmonize” certain EAEU labeling regulations with European Union requirements in terms of “indicating proteins, fats, carbohydrates and trans isomers of fatty acids,” USDA said. U.S. parties should send comments to the National Institute of Standards and Technology at ncsci@nist.gov by June 9.
