70-80 per cent of nonfoods lack Armenian-language labels
YEREVAN, February 13. /ARKA/. According to rough estimates, 70 to 80
per cent of nonfood products lack Armenian-language labels.
Chairman of the Consumer Protection NGO Abgar Yegoyan said that not
only food, but also nonfood, products must be properly labeled.
He pointed out that chemical products, household appliances, clothing,
perfumes lack Armenian-language labels, which will be in the NGO's
highlight this year.
On the other hand, Yegoyan pointed out that almost all the food
products imported to Armenia have labels in the Armenian language.

Armenian-language labels commit violations and are to pay fines, 50,000
